Researchers have developed a new methodology for mission coordination in complex Systems of Systems (SoS) by integrating high-fidelity digital mission models with Reinforcement Learning (RL). This approach formulates task allocation as a Markov Decision Process, training an RL coordinator using Proximal Policy Optimization to adapt to dynamic mission environments. An aerial firefighting mission simulation demonstrated that coordinators trained on multiple scenarios concurrently outperformed those trained on single scenarios, highlighting the importance of diverse training data for robust performance.
