Abstract

There has been increasing interest during the last several years in the development of unmanned vehicles. A large number of such vehicles are soon going to play a major role in defense and security in a battlefield environment. The objective of the present paper is to ascertain the overall reliability of a large number of unmanned vehicles in the battlefield. The problem is broken up into two parts, collaboration and coordination of unmanned vehicle network. Collaboration is the communication between a set of unmanned vehicles which are likely to move in a group. Coordination is the movement of one group of unmanned vehicle from one source node to another destination node keeping in view the obstacles and the difficulties in the movement of path. This paper utilizes the existing well known techniques in the literature for finding the node and terminal reliabilities. These can further be used to obtain the system reliability of unmanned vehicle network. Fuzzy rules based on experience from past are suggested for the implementations. A simulation of ground vehicle network having node, branch and terminal simulations is given. It is hoped that the technique proposed here will prove useful in developing future approaches for ascertaining overall reliability of unmanned ground networks.
