Abstract:
Modern air defense battlefield situations are complex and varied, requiring high-speed computing capabilities and real-time situational processing for task assignment. Current methods struggle to balance the quality and speed of assignment strategies. This paper proposes a hierarchical reinforcement learning architecture for ground-to-air confrontation (HRL-GC) and an algorithm combining model predictive control with proximal policy optimization (MPC-PPO), which effectively combines the advantages of centralized and distributed approaches. To improve training efficiency while ensuring the quality of the final decision. In a large-scale area air defense scenario, this paper validates the effectiveness and superiority of the HRL-GC architecture and MPC-PPO algorithm, proving that the method can meet the needs of large-scale air defense task assignment in terms of quality and speed.

Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus, increasing the frequency of that behavior. For example:

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
