description Air target intention recognition (ATIR) is critical for unmanned systems in modern air defense operations. Through the analysis of typical air defense combat scenarios, first, the paper defines the intention space and intention parameters of air units based on military experience and domain knowledge. Then, a rule-based agent for unmanned systems for online intention recognition is proposed, with no training, no tagging, and no big data support, which is not only for intention recognition and parameter prediction, but also for formation identification of air targets. The most critical point of the agent is the introduction and application of a thermal distribution grid graph (TDGG) and virtual grid dictionary (VGD), where the former is used to identify the formation information of air targets, and the latter is used to optimize the storage space and simplify the access process for the large-scale and real-time combat information. Finally, to have a performance evaluation and application analysis for the algorithm, we carried out a data instance analysis of ATIR for unmanned systems and an air defense warfare simulation experiment based on a Wargame platform; the comparative experiments with the classical k-means, FCNIRM, and the sector-based forward search method verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed agent, which characterizes it as a promising tool or baseline model for the battlefield situational awareness tasks of unmanned systems.
