UAV situation prediction technology based on Bayesian neural network in
uncertain environment
Abstract
In the background of adversarial engagement between fixed-wing unmanned
aerial vehicles of both enemies and friends, reliable prediction of the
future posture of the enemy UAV is of great significance. However, the
overconfidence problem of most existing point estimation predictive
models makes their predictive results lack credibility. To solve this
problem, this paper proposes an R-Bayesian neural network (R-BNN)
predictive model based on gradient balance parameters, which finely
adjusts the gradient balance between the error cost loss function and
complexity cost loss function in the BNN loss function by adjusting the
numerical size of the parameter, so as to effectively balance the
trade-off between model complexity and prediction accuracy, enabling the
network to achieve better performance. This model places probability
distributions on network weights to capture the uncertainty of
predictive results, and further improves the reliability of predictions
by integrating the various predictive results of the model through Monte
Carlo sampling during the network prediction phase. In the verification
stage, the paper compares long short-term memory neural network (LSTM),
MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) and R-BNN algorithms under the same
conditions. The experimental results show that the R-BNN predictive
model performs better in diving and climbing maneuvers with larger
motions and has significantly higher prediction accuracy with limited
data than the comparative algorithms, and can provide reliable support
for military operations.
