Neural network optimal control for tripartite UAV confrontation systems based on fuzzy differential game

The neural network optimal control strategy based on a fuzzy differential game is proposed for the tripartite UAV confrontation systems consisting of the attackers, defenders, and targets. Firstly, the tripartite UAV mutual confrontation model is constructed and a nonlinear differential control system is established. Secondly, combining the fuzzy evaluation method and differential game theory, the tripartite UAV are divided into two parts of the confrontation game: attackers-defenders and attackers-targets. The optimal control strategies for the attackers, defenders and targets parties are derived separately. Then, the tripartite UAV game model is considered to be difficult to solve directly. The evaluation neural network is introduced to approximate the optimal value function using an adaptive dynamic programming method. The convergence of the evaluation neural network weights and the stability of the nonlinear differential control system are proved by using Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the tripartite UAV confrontation game control strategy designed in this paper is verified by simulation.
