Error-Constrained Entropy-Minimizing Strategies for Multi-UAV Deception Against Networked Radars

In complex electromagnetic environments, spatial coupling uncertainties-position errors and timing jitter-increase false target information entropy, reducing strategy effectiveness and posing challenges for robust UAV swarm track deception. This paper proposes an error-constrained entropy-minimizing compensation framework to model radar/UAV errors and their spatial coupling. The framework establishes closed-form gate association conditions based on the principle of entropy minimization, ensuring mutual consistency of false target measurements across multiple radars. Two strategies are proposed to reduce false target information entropy: 1. Zonal track compensation forms dense "information entropy bands" around each preset false target by inserting auxiliary deception echoes, enhancing mutual information concentration in the measurement space; 2. Formation jamming compensation adaptively reshapes the UAV swarm into regular polygons, leveraging geometric symmetry to suppress spatial diffusion of position errors. Simulation results show that compared with traditional methods, the proposed approach reduces the spatial inconsistency entropy by 50%, improving false target consistency and radar deception reliability.

Abstract

In complex electromagnetic environments, spatial coupling uncertainties-position errors and timing jitter-increase false target information entropy, reducing strategy effectiveness and posing challenges for robust UAV swarm track deception. This paper proposes an error-constrained entropy-minimizing compensation framework to model radar/UAV errors and their spatial coupling. The framework establishes closed-form gate association conditions based on the principle of entropy minimization, ensuring mutual consistency of false target measurements across multiple radars. Two strategies are proposed to reduce false target information entropy: 1. Zonal track compensation forms dense "information entropy bands" around each preset false target by inserting auxiliary deception echoes, enhancing mutual information concentration in the measurement space; 2. Formation jamming compensation adaptively reshapes the UAV swarm into regular polygons, leveraging geometric symmetry to suppress spatial diffusion of position errors. Simulation results show that compared with traditional methods, the proposed approach reduces the spatial inconsistency entropy by 50%, improving false target consistency and radar deception reliability.
