Robustness evaluation method for unmanned aerial vehicle swarms based on complex network theory

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms have been foreseen to play an important role in military applications in the future, wherein they will be frequently subjected to different disturbances and destructions such as attacks and equipment faults. Therefore, a sophisticated robustness evaluation mechanism is of considerable importance for the reliable functioning of the UAV swarms. However, their complex characteristics and irregular dynamic evolution make them extremely challenging and uncertain to evaluate the robustness of such a system. In this paper, a complex network theory-based robustness evaluation method for a UAV swarming system is proposed. This method takes into account the dynamic evolution of UAV swarms, including dynamic reconfiguration and information correlation. The paper analyzes and models the aforementioned dynamic evolution and establishes a comprehensive robustness metric and two evaluation strategies. The robustness evaluation method and algorithms considering dynamic reconfiguration and information correlation are developed. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified by conducting a case study analysis. The results can further provide some guidance and reference for the robust design, mission planning and decision-making of UAV swarms.

适应拓扑变化的拥塞最小化网络更新策略

软件定义网络的出现推动了航空集群机载网络的发展，同时也为机载网络的一致性更新带来了挑战。针对拓扑变化导致的网络更新期间可用路径失效问题，提出适应拓扑变化的拥塞最小化网络更新策略。首先，为减少可用路径失效带来的数据包丢失，在更新之前采用重路由机制进行处理；然后，针对重路由机制可能引起的网络拥塞，设计了贪婪流迁移算法缓解拥塞；最后，通过瞬时拥塞最小化更新算法完成整个网络更新。仿真结果表明：与传统的拥塞一致性更新算法相比，所提更新策略用规则开销、瞬时网络拥塞方面的少量提高换取了网络更新期间数据包丢失的显著降低。     

基于可靠性分析的立方星网络维护架构优化

Evolution analysis of a UAV real-time operating system from a network perspective

With the flourishing development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the mission tasks of UAVs have become more and more complex. Consequently, a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) that provides operating environments for various mission services on these UAVs has become crucial, which leads to the necessity of having a deep understanding of an RTOS. In this paper, an empirical study is conducted on FreeRTOS, a commonly used RTOS for UAVs, from a complex network perspective. A total of 85 releases of FreeRTOS, from V2.4.2 to V10.0.0, are modeled as directed networks, in which the nodes represent functions and the edges denote function calls. It is found that the size of the FreeRTOS network has grown almost linearly with the evolution of the versions, while its main core has evolved steadily. In addition, a k-core analysis-based metric is proposed to identify major functionality changes of FreeRTOS during its evolution. The result shows that the identified versions are consistent with the version change logs. Finally, it is found that the clustering coefficient of the Linux OS scheduler is larger than that of the FreeRTOS scheduler. In conclusion, the empirical results provide useful guidance for developers and users of UAV RTOSs.

协同博弈路径规划是空战自主决策、机器人体育比赛等应用场景中的重要问题，其难点在于对环境对抗性反馈的实时自适应和多智能体的相互配合。提出一种基于神经网络和人工势场的协同博弈路径规划方法，使用反向传播（BP）神经网络自适应调整人工势场函数系数，并将人工势场作为神经网络输出端的特征提取。为解决真实样本质量和数量不足的问题，基于遗传算法仿真生成样本数据用于神经网络训练，并通过滚动时域的思路面向动态博弈优化样本性能。从样本数据中提炼出距离差与航向差以反映协同和博弈特性，利用神经网络的黑盒特性和学习能力解决协同博弈问题。应用于二对一反隐身超视距空战路径规划，比经典人工势场法有明显性能提升，且计算开销可接受，计算复杂度分析表明该方法可以较好扩展到多机对抗场景。     

Crop parameters estimation by fuzzy inference system using X-band scatterometer data

Learning fuzzy rule based systems with microwave remote sensing can lead to very useful applications in solving several problems in the field of agriculture. Fuzzy logic provides a simple way to arrive at a definite conclusion based upon imprecise, ambiguous, vague, noisy or missing input information. In the present paper, a subtractive based fuzzy inference system is introduced to estimate the potato crop parameters like biomass, leaf area index, plant height and soil moisture. Scattering coefficient for HH- and VV-polarizations were used as an input in the Fuzzy network. The plant height, biomass, and leaf area index of potato crop and soil moisture measured at its various growth stages were used as the target variables during the training and validation of the network. The estimated values of crop/soil parameters by this methodology are much closer to the experimental values. The present work confirms the estimation abilities of fuzzy subtractive clustering in potato crop parameters estimation. This technique may be useful for the other crops cultivated over regional or continental level.
