Game Theory Enhances Drone Swarm Defense Capabilities

Researchers have explored the application of differential game theory to enhance drone swarm defense strategies. This approach models the opposing swarm as a rational agent, aiming to find a Nash equilibrium between defender and intruder actions. Simulations indicate that this game-theoretic method significantly improves the probability of successful interception compared to baseline unilateral optimization tactics, particularly when the intruder swarm employs evasive maneuvers. A Bayesian analysis further supports the superiority of the game-theoretic approach, assigning a high posterior probability to its effectiveness in defending high-value assets. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust and intelligent autonomous defense systems capable of outmaneuvering adversarial agents.

    Game-Theoretic Drone Swarm Defense: A Case Study in Applied Differential Game Theory

    This technical report is a study of the use of differential game (DG) theory to solve the target-assignment and midcourse guidance problems of drone swarms tasked with intercepting opposing swarms in defense of high-value assets. The game-theoretic tactics---which treat the intru…
