Route Planning for Military Aircrafts Based on Waypoint Searching Method
Qingjian Wang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2014
A new method based on geometrical principle and stepping search, waypoint searching method, is proposed to improve the effectiveness and applicability with menace for route planning of military aircrafts. The models of flight-forbidden area, radars, air defense weapons and the terrain obstacles such as a high mountain are established, and the cost function during the route planning is deduced. The process and principle of how to obtain waypoints in planning space and how to select the waypoints which are acquired to make the route by waypoint searching method is introduced, and the optimal route is obtained with the cost function. The simulation based on waypoint searching method is implemented, and the results show that it is simple, has better convergence, and is not sensitive to menace. Thus, this method has a great value in the practical applications.
