Coalition formation of manned/unmanned aerial vehicle cluster based on Holon organization

The assignment problem of the manned/unmanned aerial vehicle cluster cooperative combat to the target group is analyzed based on the Holon coalition formation theory. The formation process of the air fleet Holon coalition is a process of the unordered manned/unmanned aerial vehicle clusters forming into different combat columns satisfying the tasks demand. The total task of the target group is decomposed into different types of sub tasks, defining the cluster resource redundancy index and the resource redundancy variance index according to the resource capability and task resource requirement, and a multi-objective optimization model of coalition formation is established. Finally, a multi-objective optimization bee colony algorithm is proposed, whose availability and superiority are proved with cases. © 2018, Editorial Office of Systems Engineering and Electronics.
