Abstract

The study examines scenarios involving a single pursuer tracking a single evader, as well as situations where multiple pursuers are involved in chasing multiple evaders. We formulate this problem as a search and pursuit problem for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Game theory offers a mathematical framework to model and examine strategic interactions involving multiple decision-makers. By employing game theory principles to address the search and pursuit problem, our objective is to optimize the efficiency of strategies for detecting and capturing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
