Consensus-Based Distributed Fusion for Networked Antiaircraft Fire Control System
Changcheng Wang, Guoqing Qi, Yinya Li, Andong Sheng · 2013
Renovation of networked campaign modality results in the development of networked antiaircraft fire control system. The traditional network antiaircraft fire control system usually needs a fusion center for target tracking and decision, which would not be suitable for system expansion and may easily suffer from packet loss. Inspired by applications of multi-agent consensus theories, we propose a novel framework of distributed air defense fire control system. Track fusion based on Consensus-Kalman filter technique is put forward, and the filter structure is designed for open architecture and flexibility. The packet loss between the sub-systems is also considered. The proposed structure can be scalable and robust for applications. The illustrative numerical example is provided to demonstrate the usefulness and flexibility of the proposed approach.
