Abstract:

The characteristics of time-sensitive targets, which have unstable duration and appearing space, increase the difficulty of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) formation task allocation, and it will affect the task execution results of the UAVs formation. Aiming at this problem, a time-sensitive task dynamic allocation algorithm for multi-UAVs under the Leader-Follower formation structure is put forward. Thus, UAVs can attack time-sensitive targets in battlefield environment. This algorithm comprehensively evaluates the threat cost of the targets, distance cost, task execution time, damage ability and attacking earning to complete task dynamic allocation within the time-sensitive targets time window constraints, which guarantees the maximum operational effectiveness of UAVs formation attacking multiple time-sensitive targets. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
