Cooperative Interception of Multiple Missiles for a Highly Manoeuvrable Aircraft Target

摘要

In this paper, cooperative and non-cooperative interception of a highly manoeuvrable aircraft target is studied. Each interceptor has a radio frequency seeker and they can cooperate by sharing relative position data of the target between each other. Based on federal filter, the filtering information of multiple interceptors is fused to provide high performance tracking of the target and solve the problem that radar is vulnerable to deception jamming in guidance phase. An augmented proportional navigation law (APN) is designed to overcome the influence of target acceleration on guidance accuracy. The tracking error and miss distance of the cooperative and non-cooperative interception scenarios are evaluated via Monte Carlo simulations for increasing number of missiles, and the miss distance of cooperative interception with and without deception jamming is compared. The simulation demonstrate the advantage of detecting and dealing with the deception jamming of the suggested method, and resulting a small tracking error and miss distance. In addition, results also show that the average miss distance decreases with the number of cooperative missiles fired at the target.
