Abstract:

To reduce the waste of battlefield resources, balance the cost-effectiveness ratio of the battlefield, increase the probability of target detection, and to ensure the sustainable tracking of the target, a multi-sensor cross-cueing technique based on improved Actor-Critic algorithm for target detection is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a sensor dynamic management evaluation model based on "cross-cueing" is built by integrating factors such as sensor detection, energy consumption, and timing. Secondly, the paper focuses on analyzing the decision rules of sensor management under the Actor-Critic cross-cueing algorithm. The improvement of the Actor-Critic algorithm is proposed to form a central evaluation network according to the needs of the task itself, and enlarge the interaction between the sensor and the external environment. Simulation result shows that the improved algorithm can accelerate the profit of the alliance, realize the continuous detection of the target, strengthen the cross-cueing function between sensors, and improve the intelligent level of scheduling, which provides great application value.

Key words: multi-sensor cross-cueing, Actor-Critic algorithm, reinforcement learning, object detection, sensor resource scheduling
