Target assignment of simultaneous arrival for UAVs
Jie Xia, Jinyuan Gao · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2003
The Extend Hungary Method (EHM) is presented to solve the assignment problem that the number of UAVs is larger than that of targets. The target assignment is modeling and the motivations are minimize the distance of the UAV fleet, maximize the survivability of the UAV fleet, maximize the number of UAVs assigned to each target and maximize the number of target attacked. An algorithm for arriving simultaneously is presented by combination of the EHM. Simulation results demonstrating the feasibility of the approach are presented. The approach could be easily applied into other multi-robot cooperative mission.
