CAP planning method based on elliptic fitting of optimal detection routes
In view of the combat air patrol(CAP)planning problem in air formation under the background of weak intelligence support in the far sea,a new patrol airspace planning method based on the elliptic fitting of the optimal detection route was proposed.First,the cooperative probability detection area was used as the fitness function of the genetic algorithm to solve the optimal cooperative detection route of the aircraft.Then,according to the statistical characteristics of the initial route points,a two-point removal elliptic fitting method based on geometric distance was used to solve the actual available elliptical route and the corresponding patrol airspace for pilots.The simulation results show that the formation can maintain 82.16%cooperative detection of the total mission area in CAP according to the planned rectangular patrol airspace and elliptical route,and the average real-time detection range only decreases by 1.93%compared with the optimal radar detection route.The time window in the detection blind area is small.The planning results greatly reduce the cognitive load of pilots and have practical value.
