A Two-Stage Distributed Task Assignment Algorithm Based on Contract Net Protocol for Multi-UAV Cooperative Reconnaissance Task Reassignment in Dynamic Environments
Sensors(2023)
Abstract
Multi-UAV systems have been widely used in reconnaissance, disaster relief, communication, and other fields. However, many dynamic events can cause a partial failure of the original mission during the mission execution process, in which case task reassignment should be carried out. How to reassign resources and tasks in multi-dynamic, multi-target, and multi-constraint events becomes a core issue in the enhancement of combat efficiency. This paper establishes a model of multi-UAV cooperative reconnaissance task reassignment that comprehensively considers various dynamic factors such as UAV performance differences, size of target areas, and time window constraints. Then, a two-stage distributed task assignment algorithm (TS-DTA) is presented to achieve multi-task reassignment in dynamic environments. Finally, this paper verifies the effectiveness of the TS-DTA algorithm through simulation experiments and analyzes its performance through comparative experiments. The experimental results show that the TS-DTA algorithm can efficiently solve the task reassignment problem in dynamic environments while effectively reducing the communication burden of UAV formations.
