- Abstract
The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm plays an increasingly important role in the modern battlefield, and the UAV swarmoperational test is a vitalmeans to validate the combat effectiveness of theUAV swarm.Due to the high cost and long duration of operational tests, it is essential to plan the test in advance. To solve the problemof planning UAV swarm operational test, this study considers the multi-stage feature of a UAV swarm mission, composed of launch, flight and combat stages, and proposes a method to find test plans that can maximize mission reliability. Therefore, amulti-stagemission reliabilitymodel for aUAVswarmis proposed to ensure successful implementation of the mission. A multi-objective integer optimization method that considers both mission reliability and cost is then formulated to obtain the optimal test plans. This study first constructs amission reliabilitymodel for the UAV swarmin the combat stage.Then, the launch stage and flight stage are integrated to develop a complete PMS(Phased Mission Systems) reliability model. Finally, the Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD) and Multi Objective Quantum Particle SwarmOptimization (MOQPSO)methods are proposed to solve themodel. The optimal plans considering both reliability and cost are obtained. The proposed model supports the planning of UAV swarm operational tests and represents a meaningful exploration of UAV swarm test planning.
