Low-Altitude Mission Test Design for UAV Swarms via Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization
This paper presents a novel framework for designing low-altitude UAV swarm mission tests, combining Multi-Stage Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization (MSCMO) with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO)-based adaptive hyperparameter tuning. The framework optimizes resource allocation by balancing mission effectiveness, risk, and cost under mission constraints in complex urban environments. Simulation results show improved convergence, solution quality, and robustness compared to baseline methods, providing a practical decision support tool for robust mission test scheme design.

Main Findings
- The proposed MSCMO framework generates feasible and diverse Pareto mission test schemes for low-altitude UAV swarms by jointly optimizing mission effectiveness, risk, and cost.
- In simulation scenarios, MSCMO achieves stronger feasible archive hypervolume than repaired NSGA-II and MOEA/D, and PPO-based tuning further improves convergence and final solution quality without reducing feasibility.
Implications for Enterprise AI
- Low-altitude UAV swarm mission test design can be formulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem, reducing reliance on static expert-crafted test schemes.
- The MSCMO-PPO framework provides a practical simulation-based decision support tool for designing robust mission test schemes in complex urban environments.

Hypervolume Improvement with PPO
| Method | Hypervolume | Feasible Ratio | Runtime (s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSCMO | 0.4629 ± 0.0467 | 0.984 ± 0.023 | 11.86 ± 0.52 |
| NSGA-II | 0.2860 ± 0.0627 | 1.000 ± 0.000 | 9.24 ± 0.10 |
| MOEA/D | 0.4589 ± 0.0411 | 0.853 ± 0.140 | 3.77 ± 0.02 |

Scenario I: Balanced Configuration Insights
Under the Scenario I (Balanced configuration), MSCMO improved mean Hypervolume by 61.9% over NSGA-II and 0.9% over MOEA/D, while increasing the feasible ratio by 13.1 percentage points over MOEA/D. This demonstrates MSCMO's ability to provide a better set of candidate mission test schemes with optimal effectiveness-risk-cost trade-offs and fewer infeasible solutions, even in high-conflict budget scenarios.
