Adaptive Dynamic Prediction-Based Cooperative Interception Control Algorithm for Multi-Type Unmanned Surface Vessels

In the dynamic marine environment, the high mobility of intrusion targets, complex interference, and insufficient multi-vessel coordination accuracy pose significant challenges to the cooperative interception mission of multiple unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). This paper proposes an adaptive dynamic prediction-based cooperative interception control algorithm and establishes a “mission planning—anti-interference control—phased coordination” system. Specifically, it ensures interception accuracy through threat-level-oriented target assignment and extended Kalman filter multi-step prediction, offsets environmental interference by separating the cooperative encirclement and anti-interference modules using an improved Two-stage architecture, and optimizes the movement of nodes to form a stable blockade through the “target navigation—cooperative encirclement” strategy. Simulation results show that in a 1000 m × 1000 m mission area, the node trajectory deviation is reduced by 40% and the heading angle fluctuation is decreased by 50, compared with the limit cycle encirclement algorithm, the average interception time is shortened by 15% and the average final distance between the intrusion target and the guarded target is increased by 20%, when the target attempts to escape, the relevant collision rates are all below 0.3%. The TFMUSV framework ensures the stable optimization of the algorithm and significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of multi-USV cooperative interception in complex scenarios. This paper provides a highly adaptable technical solution for practical tasks such as maritime security and anti-smuggling.
