Design and simulation of multi-UAV coordinated task allocation based on MAS

To study problems of multi-uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) coordinated task problem, a multi-UAV coordinated task structure based on multi-agent system (MAS) was proposed. The mathematic model for multi-UAV cooperative target assignment problem was build, and a dynamic target assignment algorithm based on multi-agent decentralized cooperative auction was presented, which assigned targets to multi-UAVs through a process of multi-agent auction. To verify the multi-UAV system, a simulation system was developed. The high level architecture/run time infrastructure (HLA/RTI) and the knowledge query and manipulate language (KQML) were used to accomplish interactions between agents. The simulation system facilitated simulation problems of multi-UAV coordination. The simulation results of the target assignment problem demonstrate that the algorithm has good optimal effect and time performance. The algorithm could meet the common battle field requirement.
