Aiming at the problem of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)cluster's task allocation for detecting and striking fixed targets on the ground under the condition of information asymmetry,inspired by the idea of intelligent evolution of ant colony labor division group,a dynamic search and strike strategy integrating differential evolution algorithm and dynamic ant colony labor division model is designed.Firstly,the assignment process of UAV searching and striking targets is mapped as the labor division process of ant colony foraging,and the influence of the relative distance between the UAV and the target,the discovery time,the exposure state and other factors on the target selection are comprehensively analyzed,so that the target's"temptation degree"is proposed.Then,the Markov nature of task allocation is fully considered,and a differential evolutionary algorithm with a priori knowledge of the elite retention strategy is introduced to update the"seductiveness"in real time before each target selection,forming a dynamic environmental stimulus update mechanism.Finally,a simulation environment for the task assignment of detecting and striking fixed targets on the ground under the condition of information asymmetry is established,and a comparative experimental method is adopted to validate the UAV search and strike program under the 12 experimental conditions identified.The simulation results show that,this paper's strategy improves by 3.78%and 3.90%and decreases by 6.26%and 6.39%over the two traditional strategies in the evaluation metrics of the average number of losses on the blue side and the average time consumed on the red side of the task,respectively,it can effectively solve the task allocation problem of UAV cluster under the condition of information asymmetry,and provides algorithmic support for improving the dynamic decision-making ability of UAV cluster.
