Topical Collection on "Intelligent Decision and Control of Unmanned Systems" of Journal of Intelligent Communication(JIC)-Scilight

A topical collection of Journal of Intelligent Communication (JIC) (E-ISSN: 2754-5792).
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 20 June 2024

Unmanned systems (i.e., droned, robots and other intelligent systems) have played important roles in many fields, i.e., disaster relief, intelligent transportation, intelligent medical service and space exploration. Furthermore, the decision and control of unmanned systems play important roles in these tasks. However, due to complex application environments, artificial intelligence techniques suffered from challenges in terms of robustness and flexibility. Thus, research on AI algorithms for intelligent decision and control of unmanned systems is critical.

Inspired by this, we host a Topical Collection to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of intelligent decision and control of unmanned systems and understand how governance strategy can influence it. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both theoretical approaches and practical case reviews.

Multi UAV Cooperative Reconnaissance based on Dynamic Programming VDN Algorithm

by Jingyi Huang, Ziyi Yang, Jiarui Li, Shuying Wu, Xinyu Zhang, Bo Li, 31 May 2024

This paper proposes a multi agent value decomposition network (VDN) based multi UAV collaborative reconnaissance and control method to address the issue of insufficient strategies for multi UAV collaborative reconnaissance and control. By designing corresponding algorithm networks and training processes, the goal of autonomy, collaboration, and intelligence among multiple unmanned aerial vehicle systems has been achieved, assisting unmanned aerial vehicle combat forces in achieving collaborative operations and decision-making. This article uses AirSim as the simulation verification environment to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can achieve multi UAV collaborative reconnaissance tasks in complex environments, providing an intelligent solution for UAV collaborative control.
