A Flight Path Planning for Cooperative Generation of a Phantom Radar Track
Cong Feng, Qi Feng, Hui Li · 2018
Cooperative Generation of a phantom radar track is an effect method for radar countermeasure. Electronic combat air vehicles (ECAVs) flight path planning belongs to dynamic programming issue. This issue subjects to several constraint conditions, such as the relative positions of ECAVs and radars, the relative positions of ECAVs, the maneuvering characteristics of ECAVs, the continuity of phantom radar track, the pattern of electronic combat antenna, etc. This paper introduces a ECAVs path planning method, which changes several constraint conditions into optimization objectives. This change simplifies the boundary conditions and reduces the computation complexity. The proposed method also introduces a function to restrict the range of controlled variables, which leads to the minimum ECAVs maneuver strength. Simulation results shows the effectiveness of the planning method.
