Abstract

Based on deep reinforcement learning, an intelligent tactical decision method is proposed to solve the problem of Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) air combat decision-making. The increasing complexity of the air combat environment leads to a curse of dimensionality when using reinforcement learning to solve the air combat problem. In this paper, we employed the deep neural network as the function approximator, and combined it with Q-learning to achieve the accurate fitting of action-value function, which is a good way to reduce the curse of dimensionality brought by traditional reinforcement learning. In order to verify the validity of the algorithm, simulation of our deep Q-learning network (DQN) is carried out on the air combat platform. The simulation results show that the DQN algorithm has a good performance in both the reward and action-value utility. The proposed algorithm provides a new idea for the research of UCAV intelligent decision.
