Abstract

The angular glint of aircraft formation was studied for avoiding it to be intercepted. The angular glint of the aircraft formation was modeled as an evenly distributed N-point scattering center, and the linear error of the angular glint and its distribution characteristics were calculated with the phase gradient method. A mathematical model of the apposition between four aircrafts in different formation modes and a typical surface-to-air missile was established. A simulation was performed by the model. The simulated result shows that it is effective to avoid intercepting with reasonable aircraft formation mode.
