Abstract: This paper presents a game theoretic approach for the management of multiple mobile sensors. Our approach can maintain tracks of smart targets under possibly adversarial environments. To ensure computational tractability, sensor management is divided into sensor assignment and sensor scheduling. In sensor assignment, covariance control and information theoretic sensor assignment are combined logically. In sensor scheduling, the targets are modeled as entities with different levels of intelligence, which will invoke different strategies of sensor scheduling. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed sensor management scheme.
