Task allocation and motion control for threat-seduction decoys

摘要

Threat-seduction in its simplest form refers to the problem of luring a threat away from an asset by employing a decoy that emits a signature that is indistinguishable from the asset. In this paper, first the problem of motion control of a single decoy to achieve successful threat seduction is studied. Second, the case where multiple decoys need to respond to multiple threats is investigated and an algorithm to minimise the worst-case response time is proposed. Numerical results are presented in the end.
