Abstract

The cooperative search strategy is designed with the distributed model predictive method in this paper. For the rationality of decision-making of UAV swarm in different stages of the cooperative search, a dynamic parameter selection method based on the expert system is proposed. The weight of the objective function is adjusted online through the expert system so that the result of the search decision is more in line with the task requirements. Besides, a jump grid method is proposed for grid selection in cooperative search so that the UAV can select non-adjacent grids as the search point for the next time. The UAV's search frequency and trajectory maneuverability can be changed by adjusting the number of jump grids through the expert system. The simulation shows that the UAV with the expert system can dynamically adjust the search interval and search requirements, making the UAV swarm able to quickly discover targets, explore unknown areas, ensure collision avoidance, and meet the boundary constraints.
