A Two-Layer Task Assignment Algorithm for UAV Swarm Based on Feature Weight Clustering by Xiaowei Fu, Peng Feng, Bin Li, Xiaoguang Gao

“…A two-layer task assignment algorithm based on the consensus-based bundle algorithm (CBBA) is proposed, and this algorithm uses different consensus rules between clusters and within clusters, which ensures that the UAV swarm gets a conflict-free task assignment solution in real time. The simulation results show that the algorithm can assign tasks effectively and efficiently when the number of UAVs and targets is large.…”
