Abstract

Abstract: The problem of cooperative protection in the presence of a superior opponent is considered. The note addresses the Target–Attacker–Defender problem. The challenging case where the Attacker is faster than the Target and the Defender and also more lethal than the Defender is considered. This note presents novel cooperative strategies for the Target and Defender where they need to rendezvous and to coordinate their close range strategy in order to deny capture of the Target by the Attacker.
