N2 - This paper presents an agent-based analysis for the mission effectiveness of multi-UAV area monitoring. An agent-based operational model is presented for an exemplary offshore area monitoring mission. For modeling sensing behaviors of agents, a concept of information-domain delegate agent is proposed to model the detection, tracking, and fusion of ground moving target indication (GMTI) radar, and the Cramér–Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) is used to quantify the accuracy of tracking. A measure of awareness based on information entropy is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness, and Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to analyze the variation of awareness over time and the effects of deployment parameters on awareness. Results show that, the variation of awareness over time is characterized by randomness and discontinuity, and lower cruise velocity along with higher flight altitude is preferred for improving the overall awareness.
