Pursuit-evasion games: a tractable framework for antijamming games in aerial attacks

Abstract

Abstract We solve a communication problem between a UAV and a set of receivers, in the presence of a jamming UAV, using differential game theory tools. We propose a new approach in which this kind of games can be approximated as pursuit-evasion games. The problem is posed in terms of optimizing capacity, and it is solved in two ways: firstly, a surrogate function approach is used to approximate it as a pursuit-evasion game; secondly, the game is solved without that approximation. In both cases, Isaacs equations are used to find the solution. Finally, both approaches are compared in terms of relative distance and complexity.
