Assessment of Aviation Weapons Impact on the Effectiveness of the Guarantee Algorithm for Controlling an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in the Operation of Intercepting an Air Target

EasyChair Preprint 3144

Abstract

Currently, the worldwide trend is the active use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve a variety of targets. Therefore, the subject of this work is a UAV control system, hereinafter referred to as UAV interceptor, oriented to the task of intercepting enemy UAVs. The basis of the proposed algorithm is a guaranteeing approach based on the game formulation of the control synthesis problem. In the framework of such a formulation, the process of combat maneuvering of the conflicting sides (the enemy’s own UAV and UAV) is considered as a game in which two parties are involved pursuing antagonistic goals. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was evaluated in terms of the advantage that a UAV interceptor gains in aerial combat. As a result, we evaluated the effect of TSA on the efficiency of the obtained onboard UAV control algorithm for three cases: 1. Aircraft air-to-air guided missile - aviation artillery weapon; 2. Aircraft artillery weapons - Aircraft air-to-air guided missile; 3. Aviation guided missile of the air-to-air class with a thermal homing head - Aviation guided missile of the air-to-air class with a semi-active radar seeker. As a result of the simulation, we estimated the final distances in the space of relative normalized coordinates from each of the UAVs participating in the air battle to the corresponding “ideal” point, and also estimated the hit at the final point in time in the area of possible launches, which depends on the specific characteristics of the weapons.
