A coordination strategy for cooperative sensor network deception by autonomous vehicle teams

A sensor deception scenario that employs a cooperative multi-agent team is considered as an example of a more general distributed non-formation cooperative control problem. The team uses range-delay based deception techniques to cooperatively project a false target track to an integrated range-sensing network. The problem is characterized and the geometry is analyzed. A distributed cooperative control problem is stated and a solution is presented. Simulations are provided to verify the stability of the solution.
