The paper presents a robust multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) to maintain separation assurance when GPS data is degraded or spoofed. By modeling state observation corruption as a zero‑sum game, the authors derive a closed‑form adversarial perturbation that eliminates iterative inner optimization and can be evaluated in linear time. Integrating this perturbation into a policy‑gradient MARL algorithm yields a counter‑policy that achieves near‑zero collision rates in high‑density simulations even with up to 35% observation corruption, outperforming non‑adversarial baselines.

The paper presents a curriculum‑based adversarial heterogeneous agent reinforcement learning (HARL‑AC) approach for autonomous quad‑copter landing on a ship deck in maritime settings. Using Heterogeneous‑Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (HAPPO) in NVIDIA Isaac Lab, the authors train a cooperative control policy that outperforms domain‑randomized baselines, achieving up to 97.5% success on in‑distribution sea states and higher median success and lower crash rates on out‑of‑distribution sea states. The adversarially trained policy also exhibits more cautious behavior, slightly increasing timeouts but improving safety in severe, unseen conditions.

To improve the real-world applicability of reinforcement learning (RL), the field of adversarially robust RL studies how to train agents under adversarial environment perturbations. In this setting, a protagonist agent optimizes a policy under environmental perturbations from an adversary, resulting in a zero-sum Markov game.
