| description | To address the demands of efficient forest fire detection and suppression, an adaptive multiple UAV swarm collaborative firefighting strategy considering dynamic forest fire spread and resource constraints was proposed in this paper. The multiple UAV swarm adaptive information-driven collaborative search (MUSAIDCS) algorithm and the resource-limited firefighting model were established. A temperature change-driven adaptive step-length search strategy is proposed to improve the accuracy of the search and detection of fire spots. The critical water flow rate required for fire suppression is calculated to evaluate the firefight performance, and an emergency bidding algorithm is applied to enable multiple UAV swarms collaborative firefighting under limited resources, including different payloads per UAV and swarm number. The comparative simulations for four search strategies indicate that the MUSAIDCS search strategy can significantly reduce task completion time and improve firefighting efficiency compared with the other traditional search strategies. Increasing payload quantity per UAV and swarm number can further enhance task completion efficiency and firefighting effectiveness. This study demonstrates that a resource-constrained collaborative firefighting strategy enables the dynamic allocation of UAV swarm resources under limited conditions and then optimizes firefighting performance within constraints. |
