This study introduces a new method to assess the resilience of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms after attacks. The findings show that dynamic reconfiguration significantly impacts UAV swarm resilience and network structure.
Area of Science:
- Complex network theory
- Network science
- Robotics
Background:
- Traditional Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarm assessment lacks a comprehensive description of performance changes post-attack.
- Increasing resilience requirements for UAV swarm systems necessitate advanced assessment methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop modeling and resilience assessment methods for UAV swarm self-organized networks.
- To address the need for whole-process performance change descriptions after system attacks.
Main Methods:
- Constructed a double-layer coupled UAV swarm network model (communication and structure layers) using complex network theory.
- Utilized average node degree, average clustering factor, and average network efficiency as UAV swarm resilience indicators.
- Designed a dynamic evolution-based resilience assessment method for multi-scenario evaluations.
Main Results:
- Simulation experiments demonstrated a strong correlation between UAV swarm resilience assessment and network structure design.
- The proposed method enables resilience assessment considering dynamic reconfiguration under various strategies.
- The developed model effectively characterizes UAV swarm network dynamics.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a robust framework for assessing UAV swarm resilience, particularly under adversarial conditions.
- Dynamic reconfiguration is a critical factor influencing the resilience of UAV swarm networks.
- Network structure design plays a pivotal role in enhancing UAV swarm resilience.
