Graph MADDPG with RNN for multiagent cooperative environment

Multiagent systems face numerous challenges due to environmental uncertainty, with scalability being a critical issue. To address this, we propose a novel multi-agent cooperative model based on a graph attention network. Our approach considers the relationship between agents and continuous action spaces, utilizing graph convolution and recurrent neural networks to define these relationships. Graph convolution is used to define the relationship between agents, while recurrent neural networks define continuous action spaces. We optimize and model the multiagent system by encoding the interaction weights among agents using the graph neural network and the weights between continuous action spaces using the recurrent neural network. We evaluate the performance of our proposed model by conducting experimental simulations using a 3D wargame engine that involves several unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) acting as attackers and radar stations acting as defenders, where both sides have the ability to detect each other. The results demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in terms of scalability, robustness, and learning efficiency.
