Abstract

This project proposes an innovative algorithm for designing target allocation strategies and missile guidance laws for air defense applications. This algorithm is localized in the control station of the area to protect; i.e. runs in a centralized manner. It has been optimized according to cooperative principles in a way to increase the defense team performances, which are interception of all threats and interception as soon as possible. Scenarios in naval and ground context have been defined for performance analysis by comparison to a benchmark target allocation policy. The cooperative target allocation algorithm is based on the following features: No Escape Zones (differential game NEZ) computation to characterize the defending missile capturability characteristics; In Flight (re) Allocation (IFA algorithm, late committal guidance) capability to deal with target priority management and pop up threats; capability to generate and counter alternative target assumptions based on concurrent beliefs of future target behaviors, i.e. Salvo Enhanced No Escape Zone (SENEZ) algorithm. The target trajectory generation has been performed using goal oriented trajectory extrapolation techniques. The target allocation procedure is based on minimax strategy computation in matrix games.
