Autonomous Evolution and Intelligent Evaluation of UAV Swarm

Introduction: In order to solve the installed unmanned clusters in multi-source interference under the combat effectiveness is low, poor coordination ability and the effect of the assessment is difficult and other key issues, to speed up the rapid generation of unmanned clusters of intelligent combat forces, give full play to the unmanned clusters in the complex conditions of the real-time path planning, autonomous search and reconnaissance, intelligent optimization of decision-making, intelligent strikes to assess the advantages of the destruction of the unmanned clusters to achieve the unmanned clusters of performance from the "zero-intelligence" to the "high-intelligence" iterative evolution, UAV clusters of the evolution of the control of the autonomy of the evolution of the unmanned aerial vehicle clusters are particularly important, is one of the difficulties that urgently need to be overcome.

With the theme of "Autonomous Evolution and Intelligent Evaluation of UAV Clusters", this invited symposium focuses on the theoretical and technological frontiers of autonomous evolution and intelligent evaluation of UAV clusters, with an emphasis on the concepts, theories, technologies, and applications of intelligent perception, autonomous evolution, intelligent decision-making, and real-time destruction and evaluation of UAV clusters under complex working conditions. Original papers are invited but not limited to the following topics:

1. New methods and techniques for modeling, simulation, and validation of UAV clusters
2. New Theories, Methods, and Technologies for Autonomous Evolution of Unmanned Clusters
3. Unmanned Cluster Intelligent Cooperative Sensing and Recognition Technology
4. Heterogeneous unmanned cluster autonomy and system control technology
5. Cooperative tracking and control technology for unmanned clusters in adversarial environments
6. Theories, methods, techniques, systems or platforms related to unmanned cluster systems
