Abstract:

With the emergence of a series of new technologies, such as big data, cloud computing, internet of things, artificial intelligence technology has made breakthrough progress continuously. As one of the latest achievements in artificial intelligence field, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) technology is being gradually introduced into the military field, which promotes the military field's informationization and intelligent. In the future war operation mode and military development and construction, networking, informationization, intelligence, and unmanned development will become an irreversible trend. Therefore, on the basis of reviewing the basic principles and main algorithms of DRL, this paper systematically combs and summarizes the current application status of DRL in weapons and equipment, network security, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formation, intelligent decision-making and game, etc. Finally, in view of a series of problems and challenges facing the actual application of DRL technology in the military field, this paper provides some ideas for further research in the future.

Key words: deep reinforcement learning (DRL), military application, intelligent decision-making, develo-pment trend
