Platform-Level Multiple Sensors Simulation Based on Multi-agent Interactions

In order to support the advanced concept technology demonstration of intelligence reconnaissance activities, multiple sensors simulation needs to provide enough detail to examine sensing dynamics on future battlefield. However, most current researches lack a modeling mechanism based on platform-level agent interactions and limit the implementation of agent-based simulations. In this paper, platform-level agent interactions based modeling and simulation technology is proposed to solve the problem. According to agent definition of mapping function from perception sequences to actions, the mapping from multiple sensors system’s members to respective agents is set up. Thus, the sensor entity agent model is designed. Moreover, sensor agent interactions model is presented to support multiple sensors simulation based on multi-agent interactions by using an improved Contract Net Protocol, where state transitions and augmented transition network are studied to represent the interactions. The established demonstration system proves the feasibility and efficiency of our model.
