Integrative tactical decision-making of information-based Cooperative Air Combat with ameliorative Lanchester equations

Abstract

Present a characteristic of systematic rivalry, modern combat under conditions of information presents a low applicability of the traditional Lanchester theory. In the light of this, a reformative Lanchester attrition model of information-based Cooperative Air Combat considering the factors of both collaborative combat and electronic warfare is developed in this paper. On the basis of the definition of four dominant functions, a tactical decision-making model called “the combination and classification of superiority interval” is proposed. The results of numerical examples indicate that the improved Lanchester model can simulate the process of modern air combat commendably and can make a great exaltation of Integrative operational efficiency combining with the tactical decision-making model.
