Integrated Guidance and Weapon Target Assignment (WTA) for Swarm Engagements
Abstract
The research was directed at the development of new algorithms and guidance concepts for teams of interceptors in swarm-on-swarm engagements with a particular emphasis on the interplay between the guidance and the weapon target assignment (WTA) process. The goal was to design and study cooperative guidance algorithms that use to a greater extent the kinematic capabilities of the guided vehicles while increasing the flexibility of the WTA process. In view of these goals, the research focused on two directions related to the problem of coordinated attack. The first direction of research concentrated on the problem of achieving simultaneous attack using cooperative geometric guidance laws. The second, complimentary, direction of research concentrated on obtaining an optimal guidance law that is able of achieving impact at a given time moment, so as to enable simultaneous intercept by multiple vehicles. The successful accomplishment of the research goals were published in two journal articles "Consensus-based cooperative geometrical rules for simultaneous target interception", and "Minimum-effort impact-time control guidance using quadratic kinematics approximation."
