Multi-pursuer multi-evader pursuit-evasion games with jamming confrontation

Existing pursuer-evader (PE) game algorithms do not provide good real-time solutions for situations with the following complexities: (1) multi-pursuer multi-evader, (2) multiple evaders with superior control resources such as higher speeds, and (3) jamming confrontation between pursuers and evaders. This paper introduces a real-time decentralized approach, in which decentralization strategy reduces computational complexity in multi-pursuer multi-evader situations, cooperative chasing strategy guarantees capture of some superior evaders, and min-max double-sided jamming confrontation provides optimal jamming-estimation strategies under adversarial noisy environments. Extensive simulations confirm the efficiency of this approach. Copyright © 2007 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.
