Abstract

Abstract:

The cooperative interception trajectories generation of multiple interceptors to hypersonic targets is studied. First, to solve the problem of on-line trajectory generation of the single interceptor, a generation method based on neighborhood optimal control is adopted. Then, when intercepting the strong maneuvering targets, the single interceptor is insufficient in maneuverability, therefore, an on-line multiple trajectories generation algorithm is proposed, which uses the multiple interceptors intercept area (IIA) to cover the target’s predicted intercept area (PIA) cooperatively. Through optimizing the interceptors’ zero control terminal location, the trajectories are generated on-line by using the neighborhood optimal control method, these trajectories could make the IIA maximally cover the PIA. The simulation results show that the proposed method can greatly improve the interception probability, which provides a reference for the collaborative interception of multiple interceptors.
