| description | Multi-UAVs play an important role in the battlefield. Although many methods are proposed to solve the Multi-UAV task allocation, there still existing the problems of complex time constraints and uncertain solution space. The reason is that multi-UAVs usually face changing environmental factors. Aiming at solving such problem, this paper proposes a multi-UAV task assignment method based on Deep Q-based evolutionary reinforcement learning algorithms (MPSO-SA-DQN). Specifically, this method builds a multi-agent training framework based on the deep evolutionary reinforcement learning mechanism and SA-DQN. Its aim is to improve the global exploration and optimization capabilities of multi-agents. At the same time, the multi-dimensional particle swarm optimization algorithm is introduced to optimize the state space. Based on task priority mapping, the MPSO-SA-DQN algorithm framework is proposed. As a result, multi-agents can optimize the execution state in real time in the environment interaction. Besides, it also has the ability to reach optimal state and maximum reward. According to the characteristics of multi-UAV global task assignment, this paper designs a priority state space autoencoder strategy and global task feature. A multi-UAVs tasks allocation and iterative optimization method based on MPSO-SA-DQN algorithm is proposed, so as to continuously optimize the task allocation scheme. The simulation results show that the multi-UAV task allocation method based on MPSO-SA-DQN can effectively solve the problem of uncertainty in the optimal solution space of task allocation. At the same time, the algorithm achieves faster convergence result, and a good prospect of promotion in the field of UAV swarm cooperative task planning. |
