arXiv:2610.22085v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates the resilience and self-healing of unmanned aerial vehicle swarm communication networks under severe network partitioning in complex and adversarial environments. To address limited global observability after damage, we develop a damage-state inference mechanism that enables the ground control station (GCS) to infer global failures from sparse local reports without transmitting location-sensitive coordinates. To recover multi-cluster partitioned topologies, we then propose AdDiff-GT, a physics-inspired graph Transformer that incorporates advection-diffusion dynamics into a node-supernode hybrid graph. Local message propagation captures intra-cluster structural relationships, while global attention models inter-cluster interactions. A weighted composite loss jointly considers connectivity restoration, maneuvering cost, motion consistency, inter-cluster coordination, and spatial preservation during model training. We further develop a meta-learning strategy for transferable initialization across damage patterns and swarm scales, enabling efficient online GCS adaptation and distributed airborne inference. Simulations on 8,000 partitioned scenarios, including 5,000 large-scale cases, show that AdDiff-GT achieves effective topology recovery and spatial preservation over six representative baselines. Meta-learning reduces online planning overhead with a minor increase in recovery steps, balancing prior knowledge transfer and online adaptation.
