Abstract: Electromagnetic jamming is a critical countermeasure in defense interception scenarios. This paper addresses the complex electromagnetic game involving multiple active jammers and radar systems by proposing a multi-agent reinforcement learning-based cooperative jamming decision-making method (MA-CJD). The proposed approach achieves high-quality and efficient target allocation, jamming mode selection, and power control. Mathematical models for radar systems and active jamming are developed to represent a multi-jammer and multi-radar electromagnetic confrontation scenario. The cooperative jamming decision-making process is then modeled as a Markov game, where the QMix multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm is innovatively applied to handle inter-jammer cooperation. To tackle the challenges of a parameterized action space, the MP-DQN network structure is adopted, forming the basis of the MA-CJD algorithm. Simulation experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed MA-CJD algorithm. Results show that MA-CJD significantly reduces the time defense units are detected while minimizing jamming resource consumption. Compared with existing algorithms, MA-CJD achieves better solutions, demonstrating its superiority in cooperative jamming scenarios.
