Abstract:

Unmanned swarms have widely penetrated and profoundly affected all fields of modern society. In the process of mission execution, unmanned swarms may face a range of interferences and damages, potentially affecting their normal operation and mission efficiency. Therefore, evaluating the robustness of swarm has important theoretical and applied value to ensure the stability and efficiency of the swarm in the dynamic environment. This paper focuses on cooperative sensing of the UAV swarm as an example. Based on behavioral characteristics of swarm cooperation, the cooperation process is modeled using the Hawk and Dove evolutionary game. A robustness indicator set of UAV swarm is constructed from the three dimensions: swarm attributions, environmental attributions, and task effects. Quantitative robustness metrics are proposed, and the robustness performance of the swarm under various perturbation factors is analyzed. An intelligent evaluation model eXGBoost based on the Shapley additive explanation and the eXtreme Gradient Boosting model is proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed robustness evaluation method is both feasible and effective. In addition, the method increases the transparency of the evaluation model, providing effective feedback for the design of unmanned swarms.
