To realize unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) situation assessment, a Bayesian network (BN) for situation assessment is established. Aimed at the problem that the parameters of the BN are difficult to obtain, an improved whale optimization algorithm based on prior parameter intervals (IWOA-PPI) for parameter learning is proposed. Firstly, according to the dependencies between the situation and its related factors, the structure of the BN is established. Secondly, in order to fully mine the prior knowledge of parameters, the parameter constraints are transformed into parameter prior intervals using Monte Carlo sampling and interval transformation formulas. Thirdly, a variable encircling factor and a nonlinear convergence factor are proposed. The former and the latter enhance the local and global search capabilities of the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), respectively. Finally, a simulated annealing strategy incorporating Levy flight is introduced to enable the WOA to jump out of the local optimum. In the experiment for the standard BNs, five parameter-learning algorithms are applied, and the results prove that the IWOA-PPI is not only effective but also the most accurate. In the experiment for the situation BN, the situations of the assumed mission scenario are evaluated, and the results show that the situation assessment method proposed in this article is correct and feasible.
