Abstract: In modern naval confrontation systems, adversarial underwater unmanned vehicles (UUVs) pose significant challenges, which are deployed on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to their inherent mobility and positional uncertainty. Effective neutralization threats demand sophisticated coordination strategies between distributed agents under partial observability. This paper proposes a novel Knowledge-Enhanced Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (MADRL) framework for coordinating UAV swarms against adversarial UUVs in asymmetric confrontation scenarios, specifically addressing three operational modes: area surveillance, summoned interception, and coordinated countermeasures. Our framework introduces three key innovations: (1) a probabilistic adversarial model integrating prior intelligence and real-time UAV sensor data to predict underwater trajectories; (2) a Multi-Agent Double Soft Actor–Critic (MADSAC) algorithm, addressing Red team coordination challenges. Experimental validation demonstrates superior performance over baseline methods in Blue target detection efficiency (38.7% improvement) and successful neutralization rate (52.1% increase), validated across escalating confrontation scenarios.
