Flight Trajectories for Military Aircraft across Defended Terrain
M.C. Selvestrel, M. E. Halpern, SP Goss · 1993
The automated design, in real time, of flight paths for low-flying combat aircraft is of interest since it allows the potential for improved mission effectiveness without increasing pilot workload. Automated route planning also allows the possibility of updated flight paths being generated in response to the receipt of new intelligence concerning the mission. Such flight paths could be presented on a display or used to drive an autopilot. This paper presents a number of approaches examined at the DSTO Aeronautical Research Laboratory.
