Optimal Evasive Maneuvers in Conditions of Uncertainty

Abstract

Optimal missile avoidance by an evader not having information on the relative state is analysed. This problem is equivalent to the homing of a missile of known parameters against a randomly maneuvering target. The objective is to maximize the R.M.S. miss distance by selecting the optimal frequency of a periodical maneuver with random initial phase. Comparison to results of missile avoidance with perfect information shows that the maximized R.M.S. miss distance can reach 60-80% of the optimal deterministic value.
