This paper presents a novel approach to combine trajectory optimization and gain scheduling for a nonlinear dynamic inversion controller, in order to optimize both guidance commands and control response. Therein, the guidance problem is formulated as an optimal control problem that also incorporates inner-loop dynamics based on a nonlinear dynamic inversion control block. At the same time, the gain profile for this control block is incorporated into the optimization problem as additional variables. As a result, the optimization process not only optimizes the required guidance commands based on knowledge of the control response, but also the control response itself. The optimal control problem is transcribed into a nonlinear optimization problem by direct multiple shooting, while the resulting nonlinear program is solved with an sequential quadratic programming method. The optimization procedure is augmented by an ordinary differential equation formulation to obtain the required sensitivity terms, as well as a condensing procedure to decrease the size of the auxiliary quadratic problem within the iterative optimization algorithm. Numerical results are presented that illustrate the feasibility of this approach and that indicate potential benefits.

The paper presents a new game theoretic approach towards the validation of discrete event air combat simulation models. In the approach, statistical techniques are applied for estimating game models based on simulation data. The estimation procedure is presented in cases involving games with both discrete and continuous decision variables. The validity of the simulation model is assessed by comparing the properties of the estimated games to actual practices in air combat. The approach enhances existing methods for the validation of discrete event simulation models by incorporating the inherent game setting of air combat into the analysis. The estimated games also provide a novel game theoretic perspective to simulation metamodeling which is used to facilitate simulation analysis. The utilization of the game theoretic approach is illustrated by analyzing simulation data produced with an existing air combat simulation model.

“…The second scenario studies the effect of a single maneuvering decision during the commit phase of AC. In the third scenario, a support time game [40] is studied. The game of this type takes place in AC when pilots have launched their medium range air-to-air missiles.…”

“…In order to be tractable, such game formulations have to be limited in detail and realism. For example, aircraft and missiles are described using 3-DOF point-mass models [4], [5], [22], [32], [34]- [36], [39], [40] or even more simplified equations of motion [24], [25], [28]- [30], [33], [41] that result in unrealistic flight paths that cannot be implemented in practice. In addition, many decision-making problems related to AC do not necessitate a dynamic or differential game formulation.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a new game-theoretic approach toward the validation of discrete-event air combat (AC) simulation models and simulation-based optimization. In this approach, statistical techniques are applied for estimating games based on data produced by a simulation model. The estimation procedure is presented in cases involving games with both discrete and continuous decision variables. The validity of the simulation model is assessed by comparing the properties of the estimated games to actual practices in AC. These games are also applied for simulation-based optimization in a two-sided setting in which the action of the opponent is taken into account. In optimization, the estimated games enable the study of effectiveness of AC tactics as well as aircraft, weapons, and avionics configurations. The game-theoretic approach enhances existing methods for the validation of discrete-event simulation models and techniques for simulation-based optimization by incorporating the inherent game setting of AC into the analysis. It also provides a novel gametheoretic perspective to simulation metamodeling which is used to facilitate simulation analysis. The utilization of the game-theoretic approach is illustrated by analyzing simulation data obtained with an existing AC simulation model.
