Abstract
In modern naval warfare, it is crucial to achieve rapid and efficient
attacks on enemy targets by unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). However,
existing research on USV attack strategies is limited and often
overlooks the requirement to allocate USVs effectively across regions of
varying strategic value, which restricts performance in dynamic maritime
combat environments. To this end, we proposed a novel task allocation
and saturation attack strategy for USVs. First, we divided the areas
according to the concentration of enemy USVs, and then reasonably
allocated tasks according to the value of the enemy area and attack
capability of our USVs. Then, our USVs sail towards the enemy area at a
uniform angle and at the same time to form an encirclement and carry out
precise saturation attacks. In task allocation, we introduce Logistic
chaos mapping and differential evolution mechanism to improve the Grey
Wolf Optimizer, thereby improving search efficiency and task allocation
accuracy. In addition, we combine the optimal matching algorithm with
the dynamic path control of Bezier curve to ensure the accuracy and
flexibility of the coordinated saturation attack. The simulation
experiment results show that the proposed approach exhibits high attack
efficiency and practicality in different combat scenarios, and provides
an effective solution for the attack missions of USVs in complex
environments.
