In recent years,the threat of unmanned underwater vehicles to important targets at sea has gradually increased.The characteristics of small size,low noise and concealed actions make it difficult to be detected.A sensor monitoring network construction algorithm based on virtual force is proposed accord-ingly.First,the vertical section with the smallest area is obtained by dividing the three-dimensional terrain.Secondly,a sensor is deployed on this section,the gravity,mutual repulsion and boundary repulsion of the sensor are defined,and the sensor deployment is finished when the resultant force reaches the equilibrium state.The theoretical analysis and simulation verification show that the proposed algorithm has strong adapt-ability to complex terrain,and can obtain the corresponding sensor deployment strategy according to the coverage requirements.Compared with the traditional method,it is more flexible,and compared with the VFOPCA algorithm,its energy consumption is lower and the convergence is faster.This research has guid-ing and reference significance for monitoring the intrusion of unmanned underwater vehicles.
