Maneuvering Target Simulation for Testing the Terminal Guidance of Air-to-Air missiles.

Abstract

There was a need for a complete maneuvering target for air-to-air combat simulation. A computer program was developed with logic and tactical decisions subroutines. The parameters for these decisions corresponded to the differences in pilots and the relative aircraft states. The decision subroutines provided the desired control inputs to accomplish the required maneuvers. Validation of the simulated target was accomplished by use of five test runs from different initial conditions as well as twenty runs from the same initial conditions. (Author)
