A Review for Unmanned Swarm Gaming: Framework, Model and Algorithm

The future of warfare will be the swarm, intelligent unmanned, and even systematic, but it hasn't been described in terms of a grouping confrontation. Specifically, due to the nature of the battlefield and the development trend of the future battlefield, swarm gaming is suitable. In this article, we investigated and concluded the attack defense problem for complex scenarios from game-theoretic a perspective. More than 60 key contributions are included in this survey, covering many aspects of unmanned swarm gaming research: modeling methods and algorithms of swarm gaming communication control, task allocation, resource management, and cooperative control. The consistency of existing research is summarized by examining performance characteristics. We provide each game-theoretic model's abstractly expressed bilevel programming problem and combed the potential applications for complex scenarios. Finally, we propose promising future directions to shed light on future opportunities and applications.
