Tactical intent-driven autonomous air combat behavior generation method by Xingyu Wang, Zhen Yang, Shiyuan Chai, Jichuan Huang, Yupeng He, Deyun Zhou

“…Finally, to address the problems of poor stability and slow convergence speed of deep reinforcement learning algorithms in large-scale state-action spaces, the dueling-noisy-multi-step DQN algorithm is devised, which not only improves the accuracy of value function approximation but also enhances the efficiency of space exploration and network generalization. Through experiments, the conflicts between sparse rewards and dense rewards are demonstrated. …”
