Abstract: This paper focuses on increasing the duration of autonomous missions performed by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) by deploying a swarm of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) as mobile refueling and maintenance stations. Conventionally UAVs are refueled with the fixed centralized Main Charging Stations (MCS). An algorithm is developed for efficiently distributing the swarm of UGVs to act as mobile refueling stations for UAVs. We have proposed a two-stage density estimation approach. In the first-stage, the optimal number of UGVs and its distribution were computed. In the second-stage, the UGVs coordinates with the nearest UAVs dynamically, while minimizing the average distance for refueling. The performance of the algorithm is compared with the static placement of control station for UAVs to coordinate. The numerical simulation shows a considerable advantage of distributed UGVs over the static placement of control stations.

Mission Aware Motion Planning (MAP) Framework With Physical and Geographical Constraints for a Swarm of Mobile Stations
TL;DR: A Monte-Carlo simulation is performed to evaluate the advantages of the MAP over distributed stationary stations and results clearly indicate that in comparison with DSS, MAP reduces the average distance traveled by UAVs about 20%, reduces the loss of mission time by 90 s per interruption and power loss by 3 dB.

TL;DR: This work formulate the problem that a UAV faces when it detects multiple such targets and needs to decide as to which target it should try to neutralize, given the uncertainty over the decisions of its neighbour UAVs, in a game theoretic framework and proposes a correlated equilibrium concept based decentralized game theory solution that requires local information of the Uavs.
