A Modeling Field Theory approach to pursuit games

We propose a minimal model to study multi-agent tracking within the modeling field theory (MFT) framework. In particular, we show that a control unit based on MFT can guide successfully a set of M missiles towards N mobile targets even in the presence of a high level of noise corrupting the targets' trajectory data. In the case there are more missiles than targets, the controller essentially discards the supernumerary projectiles, thus preventing the collision between missiles in a prospective pursuit
