Maneuver decision-making on air-to-air combat via hybrid control

Abstract

In this paper, a maneuver decision-making strategy in air combat is investigated via a hybrid control theory. A Hybrid Input/Output Automaton (HIOA) model is established to describe a maneuver decision-making system for a flight vehicle in air combat.An evaluation index function is proposed considering angle, space range and acceleration of two aircraft. The two-point boundary value problem is converted into two single optimization ones, and a saddle point solution is obtained for an optimal problem. A hybrid decision-making algorithm is formulated. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
