A Simple Fight Decision Support System for BVR Air Combat Using Fuzzy Logic Algorithm

Abstract

Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air combat is a future trend of war tactic. In this situation, a fighter can attack the opponent before direct encounter. Its complexity arises due to the necessity to take into account the information of target’s maneuver, the specification of the missile, and the advantage of fighter position. In this paper, a simple BVR air combat system has been developed to give a fight strategy for pilot. Some important parameters are considered, such as the distance and the azimuth position of the target’s as well as the range and the energy of missile to reach the target. The information is processed to determine the fighter supremacy and the opponent’s threat factor. The result of the processing is used as an input of fuzzy logic algorithm to determine the optimal fighting strategy. The feasibility of the model and validity of the algorithm are verified by simulation under two typical situations

Fighter Equipment Contribution Evaluation Based on Maneuver Decision

“…A comprehensive mathematical model of air combat confrontation is established to effectively improves the fidelity of confrontation state. Through a large number of machine-to-machine confrontation simulation experiments with various initial states based on the MATLAB platform [22,23], an analysis of the maneuvering decision process is performed; the results verify that the model can autonomously output reasonable maneuvers for a certain goal and ensure highquality results for fighter missile attack decisions and kill efficiency calculations. The proposed dynamic method based on influence diagrams can be used to realistically assess a situation involving BVR air combat, and the superiority and killing benefit calculations are more accurate than those based on static methods; therefore, this method can accurately relate equipment contributions and the roles of equipment in a system.…”
