Summary:This brief proposes a potential game method in a dis-tributed manner to address the target assignment problem with incomplete information in heterogeneous manned/unmanned aer-ial teams. Firstly, a heterogeneous system is formulated as a graph and different utility functions are designed to characterize the util-ities of the two kinds of members. Secondly, a local information matrix is developed for each member to infer the actions of others. Finally, an improved learning algorithm is proposed to achieve the optimal solution. Simulation results show the feasibility and effec-tiveness of the potential game approach with information esti-mates.
