Optimal-Damage-Effectiveness Cooperative-Control Strategy for the Pursuit-Evasion Problem with Multiple Guided...

In this paper, an optimal-damage-effectiveness cooperative-control strategy based on a damage-efficiency model and a virtual-force method is proposed to solve the pursuit-evasion problem with multiple guided missiles. Firstly, different from the overly ideal assumption in the traditional pursuit-evasion problem, an optimization problem that maximizes the damage efficiency is established and solved, making the optimal-damage-effectiveness strategy more meaningful for practical applications. Secondly, a modified virtual-force method is proposed to obtain this optimal-damage-effectiveness control strategy, which solves the numerical solution challenges brought by the high-complexity damage function. Thirdly, adaptive gain is designed in this strategy based on guidance-integrated fuze technology to achieve robust maximum damage efficiency in unpredictable interception conditions. Finally, the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed strategy are verified by numerical simulations.
