Research on an Air Combat Maneuvering Decision Control Method

Autonomous air combat maneuvering control methods can greatly improve the ability of intelligent and autonomous decision-making of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). In this paper, an integrated decision-making control method is developed for the problem of autonomous air combat maneuvering control. Considering the demand for real-time decision-making in air combat, a hierarchical decision-making mechanism is proposed. Based on the angle and situation model in air combat, maneuver control commands are designed under the air combat superiority and inferiority of dual aircraft. A trajectory control law is designed by using nonlinear dynamic inversion to control the aircraft for effective maneuvering flight according to the decision commands. The simulation results show that the aircraft can perform effective air combat maneuvering decision control under different air combat situations.
