Planning and guidance challenges in a"group-to-group"collaborative confrontation
With the advancements in speed and maneuverability of future aerospace vehicles,in conjunction with the development of cluster-scale attack patterns,the traditional"one-on-one"confrontation mode employed by defense mechanisms has proved to be insufficient.A more effective technological approach is to adopt a cluster of multiple aircraft to form a"group-to-group"collaborative method for confrontation.This paper discusses the challenges involved with the planning and guidance of"group-to-group"collaborative confrontation for group targets.Firstly,the development of aerospace target attack patterns and target characteristics is systematically introduced.Then,the background demands and typical scenarios of the research are summarized and refined.Next,a preliminary plan for a group-to-group collaborative confrontation is proposed for typical scenarios.Moreover,domestic and foreign research situations are briefly outlined,and key technologies are clarified,including those associated with group formation and target allocation,cluster target modeling and estimation,cluster collaborative encirclement and guidance,and cluster formation and control.Subsequently,digital simulations are carried out to preliminarily verify the effectiveness and feasibility of these key technologies and to address critical challenges that may arise.Finally,the prospects for the application of the planning and guidance technology for group-to-group collaborative confrontation and the direction it should take in the future are discussed.
