Operational Effectiveness Evaluation of UAV Cluster Based on Bayesian Networks

Abstract This paper focuses on the requirements of operational efficiency evaluation for UAV cluster, and establishes an evaluation index system for UAV cluster operations, and establishes evaluation index system from the aspects of cooperative attack capability, autonomous reconnaissance capability, instant messaging capability, rapid planning capability and autonomous formation capability. The evaluation network model is built by using Bayesian network, and the corresponding prior and conditional probabilities are calculated. The effectiveness values of each capability are calculated and verified by experiments. This paper provides an applicable quantitative evaluation method for UAV cluster operational effectiveness evaluation.
