Multi-aircraft cooperative guidance scenario with a detection role included

Abstract

In order to solve the problem that a single attacking missile cannot effectively intercept the maneuvering target when its detection ability is suppressed, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) acting as a detection role is considered and the multi-aircraft cooperative guidance scenario with the detection role is proposed based on the cooperative interception geometry relationship. Firstly, according to the relative kinematics and dynamics equations of particles, a cooperative interception model is established. Secondly, under the condition that the detection capability of the attacking missile is limited, the cooperative guidance requirement is analyzed and a feasible cooperative guidance scenario is derived. Finally, the cooperative guidance law is designed based on the proportional and differential control method which can achieve the goal of stabilizing the line-of-sight axis and cooperative guidance by modulating the angle between the Detector-to-Missile and Detector-to-Target LOS axis. Mathematical simulations show that when the target performs sinusoidal and uniform acceleration maneuvering, the cooperative guidance law can both ensure that the attacking missile intercepts the target effectively under the guidance of the detector, which confirms the availability and advantage of the cooperative guidance law.
