Abstract

To improve the path optimization capability and scheduling efficiency of shipborne multi-UAV systems in dynamic port environments, a path planning method based on a deep learning–dynamic ant colony optimization (DL-DACO) algorithm was proposed. First, considering the complexity of cooperative movements among the carrier ship, target vessels, and UAVs in dynamic environments, an integer programming model for path optimization was constructed, incorporating a dynamic mobile base station and monitoring time window constraints. At the algorithmic level, deep learning was used to adaptively design the parameter combinations of the pheromone importance factor and heuristic importance factor, a dynamic distance matrix was introduced to replace the static one, and a nonlinear adjustment strategy was employed to optimize the pheromone evaporation mechanism. Experimental results showed that, compared with the traditional fixed-base strategy, the proposed method reduced the total monitoring time by 17.77%, and achieved reductions of 3.87% and 4.76% compared with existing algorithms. The results indicate that the proposed model and fusion algorithm effectively improve the efficiency of UAV-based pollutant monitoring and enhance the cooperative path planning capability of shipborne multi-UAV systems.
