Cluster Collaborative Search Method Based on Dynamic Adjustment of Parameters

In order to improve the ability of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) cluster collaborative search and obstacle avoidance, a multi-UAV collaborative search method based on dynamic parameter adjustment is proposed. Firstly, based on the distributed model predictive control (DMPC) model, a collaborative search problem model is designed considering the rapidity of target discovery, the rapidity of covering the task area and the obstacle avoidance between drones. Secondly, the jump grid decision method not only expands the feasible solution of the search decision, but also ensures that the UAV can track the navigation point of the decision smoothly. At last, a dynamic adjustment method of search parameters is proposed, which realizes threat avoidance in collaborative search process by adjusting search parameters online. The simulation results show that the cluster cooperative search method based on dynamic parameter adjustment can fully consider the maneuverability of UAVs and realize threat avoidance during cooperative search, and improve the robustness of the algorithm after some nodes are damaged.
