Air Defense Planning from an Impact of a Group of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles based on Multi-Agent Modeling

Abstract

The paper discusses the methodology of forming an air defense plan to counteract a group of drones based on multiagent modeling. It is shown that the application of traditional planning methods does not take into account the peculiarities of the defense of objects against large groups of air targets in case of their simultaneous application. The use of a multiagent paradigm for modeling is considered, which considers the defense process as an interaction of two groups of agents: attack and defense. The air situation model is based on the application of agents with simple control methods and the use of cohesive and repulsive functions. The air defense model includes adequate air defense agents' response to air targets. The conclusion about the possibility of multi-agent air defense planning was confirmed by modeling of an infrastructure object defense from attack of a group of drones.
