Multi-AUV Dynamic Maneuver Countermeasure Algorithm Based on Interval Information Game and Fractional-Order DE

Abstract

The instability of the underwater environment and underwater communication brings great challenges to the coordination and cooperation of the multi-Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). In this paper, a multi-AUV dynamic maneuver countermeasure algorithm is proposed based on the interval information game theory and fractional-order Differential Evolution (DE), in order to highlight the features of the underwater countermeasure. Firstly, an advantage function comprising the situation and energy efficiency advantages is proposed on account of the multi-AUV maneuver strategies. Then, the payoff matrix with interval information is established and the payment interval ranking is achieved based on relative entropy. Subsequently, the maneuver countermeasure model is presented along with the Nash equilibrium condition satisfying the interval information game. The fractional-order DE algorithm is applied for solving the established problem to determine the optimal strategy. Finally, the superiority of the proposed multi-AUV maneuver countermeasure algorithm is verified through an example.
