Optimal Configuration Analysis of AOA Localization and Optimal Heading Angles Generation Method for UAV Swarms

In this paper, the angle-of-arrival (AOA) measurements are adapted to locate a target using the UAV swarms equipped with passive receivers. The measurement noise is considered to be target-to-receiver distance dependent. The Cramer-Rao low bound (CRLB) of the AOA localization is calculated, and the...

description In this paper, the angle-of-arrival (AOA) measurements are adapted to locate a target using the UAV swarms equipped with passive receivers. The measurement noise is considered to be target-to-receiver distance dependent. The Cramer-Rao low bound (CRLB) of the AOA localization is calculated, and the optimal deployments are explored through changing angular separations and distances. Then, a distributed collaborative autonomous generation (DCAG) method is proposed based on the deep neural network (NN). The off-line training and on-line application rules are applied to generate the optimal heading angles for the UAV swarms in the AOA localization. The simulation results show that through the DCAG method, the generated heading angles for UAV swarms enhance the localization accuracy and stability.
