A Collaborative Search and Rescue Method for Maritime Multi-Unmanned Platforms Based on MDLS Algorithm

In response to the collaborative search and rescue problem of multiple unmanned platforms at sea, this paper proposes a collaborative search and rescue method for maritime multi-unmanned platforms by combining the MDLS algorithm and traditional search interception algorithms. The collaborative search and rescue method establishes a capability model for unmanned search and rescue platforms and a requirement model for search and rescue tasks through quantitative analysis. Based on this, a collaborative search and rescue plan for multiple unmanned search and rescue platforms is established through the design of a consistency matching algorithm between the capabilities of unmanned search and rescue platforms and the requirements of search and rescue tasks. Validation of the collaborative search and rescue method for multiple unmanned platforms was performed using the scenario of rescuing an aircraft that crashed into the sea, far away from the coast.
