It is related to a method. This method enables KIDA to operate in dynamic and uncertain surface environments. platforms developed using sensor data and based on reinforcement learning Optimal avoidance thanks to route generation and autonomous control AI model. This enables the maneuvers to be performed. The method uses environmental sensors (LIDAR, 10 fusion of data from mm-wave radar (etc.) and inertial measurement units Using this, it analyzes the movements of threatening KIDA in real time and It autonomously optimizes avoidance decisions. Previous Technique Prior to the method described in this invention, there were 15 aggressive kamikaze unmanned underwater vehicles. (KIDA) avoidance operation is usually performed manually with remote intervention by operators. This was being carried out as follows: Platforms on the sea, in response to the attack. attempting to evade by performing operator-controlled maneuvers was located. Current systems use data from radar and other sensors to identify threats. In addition to providing detection, this data will automate avoidance maneuvers. It was unable to combine the data manually. As a result, the data was compromised during the attack. assessment and determination of defense strategy through operator intervention, It was reducing operational efficiency and was inadequate in preventing threats. 25 2 It remained. The limited autonomy of traditional methods, especially for multiple users, In threat scenarios, avoiding attacks became even more difficult. In the document CN111881580A, which is included in the known state of the art, autonomous There is a multi-sensor fusion model in route generation for marine vessels and 5 This refers to a method that utilizes reinforcement learning. The method described in the document allows an autonomous marine vehicle to navigate through obstacles. It offers a solution for avoiding and planning actions. However, this The solution remains limited to the individual vehicle level and a more restricted sensor. It is supported by a fusion approach. Also, there is no central critic or 10 It does not include a task improvement mechanism. Autonomous according to document CN116225008A in the known state of the art. There is a multi-sensor fusion model in route generation for marine vessels, and A method using reinforcement learning is being discussed. 15 Current applications range from aggressive kamikaze unmanned underwater vehicles (UAVs) It shows various shortcomings and deficiencies in avoidance. Firstly, Because these systems are generally operator-controlled, they reduce human reaction time. It is dependent and slow to deal with real-time threats. 20 remains. Operators' threat detection and avoidance maneuvers The execution time may be insufficient depending on the speed and direction of the attack. This significantly reduces the defensive effectiveness of the platforms. In addition, although current applications detect threats using sensor data, 25 This data will enable effective automated avoidance maneuvers. It cannot be processed in this way. Data from radar and other environmental sensors, Because it requires manual evaluation, operational efficiency decreases and much When faced with so many threats, avoiding attacks is nearly impossible. 3 This is becoming the case. Current systems require a fast and reliable transmission of sensor data. By not fusing in this way, it is unable to respond quickly to threats. In addition, against the attack speeds and sudden changes of direction of KIDAs The lack of a dynamically adaptable avoidance algorithm is also a current issue. 5 This is a significant limitation in the systems. Current methods are subject to environmental changes. Threats posed by KIDs because they cannot react in real time. It remains vulnerable to electronic countermeasures (RF jammers). These systems become even more ineffective when they encounter (or jammers) and It cannot provide adequate protection against attacks. 10 Purposes of the Invention The purpose of this invention is to protect against attacking kamikaze unmanned underwater vehicles (UAVs). It is the implementation of a method that enables avoidance. The invention provides an effective defense against aggressive kamikaze unmanned underwater vehicles (UAVs). Important factors that enhance the safety of offshore platforms by providing evasiveness. It offers benefits. The developed method allows for the dynamic and uncertain nature of KIDAs. By performing real-time evasive maneuvers against the target's maneuvers It ensures that platforms are effectively protected from attacks. This allows for fast and efficient operation. This makes it possible to respond instantly to sudden threat changes. The method, 20 It operates completely autonomously, eliminating the need for operator intervention. Thus, defense processes are carried out more quickly and effectively, and human Errors caused by various factors are minimized. Efficient combination of data from environmental and inertial sensors. Thanks to this, the system operates with high accuracy in uncertain and dynamic environments. Sensor 25 Fusion reduces sensor-related errors, making avoidance decisions more reliable. This enables electronic countermeasures such as RF mixers and jammers. They are able to perform evasive maneuvers without being affected by the measures, and thus 4 increasing the operational effectiveness and reliability of the defense system platforms It enables them to successfully carry out their duties. The developed avoidance algorithm operates in real-time in dynamic and uncertain environments. by changing course to accommodate moving obstacles and evolving threat scenarios. It adapts quickly. The use of a reinforcement learning-based algorithm ensures continuous 5 by rapidly adapting to changing environmental conditions, even in large state spaces. It improves the accuracy of evasive maneuvers and increases operational efficiency. These benefits ensure the safety of commercial, civilian, and military platforms at sea. by increasing their protection against aggressive KIDAs and enabling them to continue their missions This ensures that both human safety and operational success are critical factors. It offers an advantage. Detailed Description of the Invention The avoidance method implemented to achieve the purpose of this invention is shown in the attached figures. It has been shown.
