Abstract

A team of networked UAVs are deployed in an unknown region to search and destroy targets. To successfully destroy a target, a coalition of UAVs with sufficient cumulative resources needs to be assigned. Forming coalitions under networks with dynamic topology is difficult and the type of coalition formation strategy adopted affects the mission performance. In this paper, we determine a mechanism to form coalitions in dynamically changing networks and investigate different coalition formation strategies.
