Abstract: A cooperative strategy for multiple passive networked sensors to satisfy the requirements of anti-stealth is proposed. A POMDP model for the multiple passive networked sensors is established to improve the effectiveness of the anti-stealth detection. The elements of POMDP model are analyzed comprehensively based on the POMDP theory. A cooperative control system of multi-passive-sensors is put forward, and a UKF method for belief state updating together with a MCRS-based (Monte-Carlo Rollout sampling) algorithm for Q-value estimation is presented. A basic policy of CCSP is designed. Experiments show that the proposed model can be used for the efficient management and scheduling of multi-passive-sensors, as well as the effective detection and tracking of the stealth targets by deploying these sensors. The validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated.
