This paper addresses the problem of restricted airspace protection from invaders using the cooperative multi-UAV system. The objective is to detect and capture the invaders cooperatively by a team of homogeneous UAVs (called evaders)before…
In this paper, a Priority-based Dynamic REsource Allocation with decentralized Multi-task assignment (P-DREAM) approach is presented to protect a territory from highly manoeuvring intruders. In the first part, static optimization problems…
This paper studies a variant of the multi-player reach-avoid game played between intruders and defenders with applications to perimeter defense. The intruder team tries to score by sending as many intruders as possible to the target area,…
The perimeter defense game has received interest in recent years as a variant of the pursuit-evasion game. A number of previous works have solved this game to obtain the optimal strategies for defender and intruder, but the derived theory…
In recent years, multi-player multi-armed bandits (MP-MAB) have been extensively studied due to their wide applications in cognitive radio networks and Internet of Things systems. While most existing research on MP-MAB focuses on…
Previous studies in the perimeter defense game have largely focused on the fully observable setting where the true player states are known to all players. However, this is unrealistic for practical implementation since defenders may have to…
We consider a variant of the target defense problem where a single defender is tasked to capture a sequence of incoming intruders. Both the defender and the intruders have non-holonomic dynamics. The intruders' objective is to breach the…
Deep neural networks have achieved impressive performance in various areas, but they are shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Previous works on adversarial attacks mainly focused on the single-task setting. However, in real…
We consider a variant of pursuit-evasion games where a single defender is tasked to defend a static target from a sequence of periodically arriving intruders. The intruders' objective is to breach the boundary of a circular target without…
In time-sensitive and dynamic missions, multi-UAV teams must respond quickly to new information and objectives. This paper presents a dynamic decentralized task allocation algorithm for allocating new tasks that appear online during the…
Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UASs) have become a growing threat to the security of critical infrastructure, exploiting spatiotemporal gaps in sensor perimeters to infiltrate restricted airspace undetected. We formulate this interaction as a…
This paper systematically studies the cooperative area coverage and target tracking problem of multiple-unmanned aerial vehicles (multi-UAVs). The problem is solved by decomposing into three sub-problems: information fusion, task…
Multi-player multi-armed bandit is an increasingly relevant decision-making problem, motivated by applications to cognitive radio systems. Most research for this problem focuses exclusively on the settings that players have \textit{full…
We consider a perimeter defense problem in a planar conical environment comprising a single turret that has a finite range and non-zero service time. The turret seeks to defend a concentric perimeter against $N\geq 2$ intruders. Upon…
This paper considers a patrol inspection scenario where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are adopted to traverse multiple predetermined cruise points for data collection. The UAVs are connected to cellular networks and they would…
Driven by the unceasing development of maritime services, tasks of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted maritime data collection (MDC) are becoming increasingly diverse, complex and personalized. As a result, effective task allocation for…
This paper studies the deployment of joint moving target defense (MTD) and deception against multi-stage cyberattacks. Given the system equipped with MTD that randomizes between different configurations, we investigate how to allocate a…
In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm to control a team of cooperating robots aiming to protect a target from a set of intruders. Specifically, we model the strategy of the defending team by means of an online optimization…
The increased capabilities of modern real-time systems (RTS) expose them to various security threats. Recently, frameworks that integrate security tasks without perturbing the real-time tasks have been proposed, but they only target single…
Moving target defense has emerged as a critical paradigm of protecting a vulnerable system against persistent and stealthy attacks. To protect a system, a defender proactively changes the system configurations to limit the exposure of…
