Qiang Shen · Journal of Ballistics · 2007
Several main research methods used for path plan of loitering unit were analyzed and compared.A path plan method of loitering unit based on Genetic Algorithm was proposed.Aiming at the multi-target optimization problem,optimization method that different target was optimized at different period was adopted.It reduces calculation quantity and accelerates the convergence of solution to expectation value effectively.Loitering path planning for fixed and variant altitude was carried out,and satisfactory optimization results were achieved.The minimum loitering range needed was obtained.These results provide theoretical basis for thrust scheme design and aerodynamic shape design of loitering unit.
