Role Assignment Mechanism of Unmanned Swarm Organization Reconstruction Based on the Fourth Directed Motif

Abstract

With the rapid development of intelligent unmanned technology, unmanned combat swarms are faced with a highly aggressive, highly uncertain, and highly dynamic battlefield environment, and the operation mode of unmanned combat has gradually shifted from single-platform operations to swarm networking collaboration combat development. Aiming at the typical characteristics of the unmanned swarm combat system, this paper proposes a role assignment model for organizational reconfiguration at the swarm layer and builds an unmanned swarm organization reconfiguration role-assignment mechanism model (SORAM) based on the fourth-order directed motif. The method starts from the organizational domain of the swarm system and takes the task as the the dependent variable of the role assignment of the swarm organization, quantifies the importance of the motif from a statistical point of view, and establishes a multi-objective model considering the similarity of the structure. The swarm reconfiguration role optimization method of SR-NSGA-2 provides a reference for the online adaptation of the swarm links. Finally, combined with a simulated combat simulation case, the usability and effectiveness of the method are tested.

Keywords: flexible mechanism design; flexible role assignment; motif evolution; swarm reconstruction; unmanned swarm mission planning.
