Grouped Attack Strategy of Multi-UAV Imitating Hawk Hunting Behaviors

Abstract

For Multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) confrontation, there are many challenging problems such as task assignment and autonomous decision-making. Inspired by the target selection behavior of Swainson's hawk and cooperative hunting of falcons, a grouped attack strategy of Multi-UAV imitating hawk hunting behaviors is proposed to solve the target assignment and teammate assignment problem during the Multi-UAV confrontation when casualties occur on both sides especially. The grouped attack strategy of Multi-UAV consists of a hawk target selection mechanism and a multi-hawk cooperative capture success mechanism. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can make allies destroy more enemies.
