Recent progress on the study of multi‐vehicle coordination in cooperative attack and defense: An overview.

Cooperative guidance and control design of multiple vehicles plays an important role in obtaining benefits of cooperation for enhancement of combat effectiveness in modern military. A number of efficient cooperative strategies have been developed in literature within this context. This paper aims to provide a detail overview of the theoretical advances toward multi‐vehicle coordination for cooperative attack and defense. With a focus on the pertinent literature published in the past two decades, this topic is divided into two categories, namely, terminal‐time coordination and multiplayer pursuit‐evasion. The recent progress of these two categories is systematically reviewed, and a short discussion on future research perspectives is also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
