Evader Cooperative Capture by Multiple Pursuers with Area-Minimization Policy

In response to the incidents of drones interfering with normal flights in recent years, we propose a strategy for the cooperative pursuit of single evader using multiple pursuers. First, in the case where the evader's position is known exactly, the tracking strategy based on the area-minimization policy is provided for a group of pursuers tracking a single evader. Then, the tracking strategy considering the evader's position uncertainties is proposed. After that, simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed strategies. Finally, we point out the work that needs to be done in the future.
