Formation cooperative planning method based on multi-agent with resource constraints

After analysis on the anti-ship combat process of ship formation, theory of multi-agent system (MAS) was introduced into the decision-making process, and then the formation cooperative anti-ship combat agent model was established. Aiming at the key problem that the resource constraints among formation agents induced resource occupied conflict in the formation agent cooperation process, a principal and subordinate structure multi-agent planning pattern was proposed accomplished with proposing a MAS planning method combining centralization with distribution. The simulation result showed that the method could effectively realize the cooperation among combat formation agents, and ensured the formation agents achieving anticipated tactical goal under the condition of resource constraints.
