A novel mode of fire control in missile systems for air defence

摘要

The problem of shooting targets in the air is rather complex task, in which every missile system for air defence is responsible for fire control. In this paper we present a novel approach and mode for fire control in air-defence systems based on homing missiles. A device for calculation of the launching zone (AOZ) is used for intelligent estimation whether the target has entered the launching zone. The proposed novel approach makes essential use a fuzzy reasoning, a fuzzy-rule knowledge base for target’s velocity, to calculate the launching zone immediately upon the first detection of a target. Namely, it uses pre-defined launching zones for different flying regimes and different velocities of potential targets, and the data are stored into a look-up table along with the associated pass angles and flying times to the launching zone border. Computational model for simulation and simulation experiments were carried out using a new model constructed in Matlab-Simulink platform. Copyright © 2007 IFACud ud
