A Mathematical Assessment of Evasive Maneuvers,

Abstract

This study addresses several mathematical issues related to evasive maneuvers. Two types of evasive maneuvers are described as random processes for which the second-order statistics are relatively simple. The performance of least squares and Kalman filtering of those random processes is studied both analytically and numerically. The kinematics of pursuit paths and intercept paths for a maneuvering target are discussed. A sample program is produced that incorporates the principles discussed in the study and allows the implementation of an optimal evasive transit. Keywords: naval warfare. (Author)
