Abstract

The application discloses a kind of helicopter formation flight dispersing guiding method.For the position of three helicopter formation, distance interval and distance interval requirement after air dispersing formation at a certain time, based on kinematic equation and plane geometry principle, wingman S-shaped maneuver dispersing guiding model is established in two-dimensional plane, the flight path point and flight parameter of wingman air maneuver dispersing are calculated by comprehensively considering the characteristics of helicopter formation flight and dispersing formation requirement, so that the should fly elements sent by ground command post air guiding are obtained.The method overcomes the defects of slow artificial estimation and low precision adjustment by experience, has the advantages of high precision, good real-time, computer programming easy to realize, etc., can meet the requirements of navigation solution precision and effectiveness of ground tower command task, can reduce the air guiding operation burden of commander, improve the degree of automation of command system.The method is especially suitable for the application of helicopter command system to formation flight command guiding.
