“…With respect to the combat capability evaluation, one typical example is found in Carpenter and Falco. 1 The authors proposed mathematical models to describe the seeker property, guidance laws, and warhead detonation/kill zone of a close-range IR-guided air-to-air missile. Guidance and control of the aircraft was then generated via the optimal theory-based variational calculus technique (see Section ''Optimal theory-based approaches'').…”

The Autonomous Air Combat technique has been a lasting research topic for decades. However, no complete solutions seem to have appeared because of the highly dynamic and complex nature of the Autonomous Air Combat problem. In devising the Autonomous Air Combat solutions, we follow similar methodologies in the robotics community, and divide the overall scheme into two folds: the perception of other (enemy/friendly) aircraft, and the guidance/control for own aircraft. While the perception in the first fold serves as a foundation, this paper is mainly focused on the second one. Based on our survey, a review of own aircraft guidance/control in the (primarily one-to-one) Autonomous Air Combat solutions is presented. We divide different Autonomous Air Combat solutions into three groups, i.e. mathematics-based, knowledge-encoded, and learning-driven. In each group, we present the representative methods first; problem definition, solution, and a brief overview of the historical development are illustrated. We also comment on both weakness and strengths for each group/method. We point out certain technical paths/challenges that need to be addressed in the future Autonomous Air Combat development, i.e. to abstract and emulate the human pilot experiences, and to develop the online learning capabilites. Inspired by the state-of-art techniques in other similar fields (robotics, autonomous driving), we also propose potential solutions, i.e. traditional approaches enhanced by the novel data-driven technique. Via this paper, we hope to deliver an in-depth analysis of past experiences and potential challenges/solutions for the Autonomous Air Combat technique. We also advocate referring to the approaches/techniques that are utilized in other similar fields in devising the Autonomous Air Combat solutions.

“…We take the firing point of the air-to-air missile as the coordinate origin (0, 0, 0) and assume that the missile moves following the Proportional Navigation law, whose proportional parameter = = 4, at a constant speed V = 500 m/s with the pitching angle = 0 and the azimuth angle = 0. Through the missile dynamics equation set (refer to [3]), we can acquire the ballistic trajectory of the missile and the measurement set Z with a second sampling interval in Figure 2. Figure 3, we show the missile state estimates filtered by the CV, CA, and PN models with EKF, respectively.…”

“…The common target motion models such as the CV, CA, and Current Statistical (CS) models cannot well and truly describe the air-to-air missile maneuver because the missile has a good maneuverability and a supersonic speed [2]. However, we can research from the navigation law point to establish a smarter motion model because the missile maneuver obeys some navigation law [3]. The Proportional Navigation (PN) law is the most common in the air-to-air missiles [4].…”

The purpose of this paper is to track the air-to-air missile. Here we put forward the PN-GAPF (Proportional Navigation motion model and Genetic Algorithm Particle Filter) method to solve the problem. The main jobs we have done can be listed as follows: firstly, we establish the missile state space model named as the Proportional Navigation (PN) motion model to simulate the real motion of the air-to-air missile; secondly, the PN-EKF and PN-PF methods are proposed to track the missile, through combining PN motion model with EKF and PF; thirdly, in order to solve the particle degeneracy and diversity loss, we introduce the intercross and variation in GA to the particles resampling step and then the PN-GAPF method is put forward. The simulation results show that the PN motion model is better than the CV and CA motion models for tracking the air-to-air missile and that the PN-GAPF method is more efficient than the PN-EKF and PN-PF.

SUMMARYThe effects of non-linear kinematics .on optimal evasive strategies from a pursuer guided by proportional navigation are investigated in a plane. Non-linear analysis is mandatory since, for certain values of system parameters and initial conditions, linearized kinematic models are not valid. The investigation discloses two principles of optimal evasion. For long pursuit time, both principles are satisfied and the relatively large miss distance is almost independent of the initial conditions. Short pursuit time does not allow simultaneous satisfaction of both principles, and the two-dimensional optimal compromise results in a reduced miss distance. The inability to satisfy both principles suggests a three-dimensional manoeuvre perpendicular to the initial collision plane.
