The paper introduces DRG-MAPPO, a hierarchical multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework for cooperative air combat. It combines graph‑based relational modeling with dynamic role assignment, using a high‑level policy to allocate tactical roles such as leader and supporter, and a low‑level policy to execute maneuver actions. The approach includes a target‑priority auxiliary task and achieves an 87% win rate in experiments, indicating effective coordination and stability.

arXiv:2607. 29577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Games and simulators make valuable benchmarks by turning decisions into measurable outcomes, but many current suites under-test rules-rich tactical reasoning: the ability to choose well when geometry, timing, resources, objectives, and rule interactions all matter at once.

The paper introduces DoublesEval, a diagnostic framework that uses professional doubles badminton to test visual‑language models’ ability to reason about dynamic multi‑agent interactions. It decomposes rallies into key moments and evaluates models across four dimensions—atomic recognition, intra‑segment composite understanding, cross‑segment causal reasoning, and high‑level tactical abstraction—highlighting specific reasoning failures. The authors also propose TacticCheck, a lightweight consistency checker that improves performance without retraining the models, yet significant gaps remain in tactical reasoning.
