A guidance mechanism for non-cooperative swarms using spatial noise

For non-cooperative swarms, such as unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles, implementing guidance methods through invasive take over control poses significant operational challenges. To address this issue, we propose a non-invasive guidance mechanism that leverages statistical properties of noise-disturbed swarms. This mechanism is inspired by the observation that Vicsek swarms exhibit directional selectivity when passing through regions of spatial noises. By configuring the shape of the noisy regions, we can guide the swarm along prespecified motion direction in both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional spaces. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed guidance mechanism can effectively guide non-cooperative swarms to desired positions and enable them to move away from specific areas under the influence of spatial noise.
