Abstract
We address Command and Control (C2) problems for unmanned air vehicles (UAV's) within the framework of stochastic games. The problem we consider involves one unit comprising a few UAV's (typically in the range of two to ten) attacking a small number of targets. The targets are defended by surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems with missiles and associated search and track radars. The opponent may also employ decoy SAM radars. Our goal here is to develop a stochastic game formulation that can provide output feedback controls in the presence of uncertainty and partial information. We approach this goal by combining the estimator and controller via a modified Certainy Equivalence Principle that weighs both the probability of each possible state and the potential cost such system state in a mathematically appropriate way, so as to determine a near optimal control.
