Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar countermeasures, specifically relating to a method for aircraft threat assessment based on multi-dimensional situational fusion in complex electromagnetic environments. Background Technology
[0002] In current practical working environments, traditional, static selection of aircraft threat factors is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of aircraft threat assessment in complex electromagnetic environments. With the continuous development of aircraft technology and the widespread influence of electromagnetic effects in practical engineering environments, the elements involving aircraft threats constitute a complex and multidimensional dataset. Simple threat factor selection leads to increasingly larger errors in situation assessment. Therefore, it is necessary to divide the entire flight phase of the aircraft in detail to select threat factors that are more in line with the engineering environment, and are multidimensional and dynamic.
[0003] Threat factors influencing aircraft threat values constitute a complex, multi-dimensional dataset. This dataset includes not only the aircraft's flight trajectory data but also a wide range of threat intent and signal data. The data exhibits high redundancy, and the degree to which different data points influence threat values varies significantly; some threat factors may even be decisive. Therefore, it is essential to process this dataset to select primary threat factors, ignore irrelevant factors, and integrate as many factors as possible. Aircraft threat factors include aircraft-target distance, aircraft threat intent, and radar operating parameters. Each category contains a variety of factors, essentially covering all characteristic data from the entire flight process. Considering all this data would be extremely labor-intensive and insufficient for real-time situational assessment in realistic scenarios. However, by categorizing these aircraft threat factors according to their importance, appropriate categories can be selected for aircraft threat assessment based on different needs.
[0004] The flight stage of an aircraft also influences the selection of threat factors. The entire flight process is constantly changing; not only are the threat factor data continuously evolving, but the degree of their impact also changes dynamically. If the entire flight process is treated as a static process with unchanging threat factors, the threat calculation results will deviate significantly from the actual results, greatly impacting decision-making. Therefore, it is necessary to dynamically select threat factors based on the different stages of the aircraft's flight.
[0005] Therefore, we aim to propose a method that aligns with real-world engineering scenarios, enabling detailed segmentation of aircraft operations and the selection of appropriate threat factors for each stage, thereby facilitating more accurate threat calculations. This method considers distance, threat intent, and the operational characteristics of the aircraft's radar equipment to meet the threat assessment needs in complex electromagnetic environments, thus providing a basis for real-time decision-making. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention proposes a multi-dimensional situational awareness fusion-based aircraft threat assessment method for complex electromagnetic environments. The method divides the entire flight process of the aircraft and selects the main threat factors for different flight stages based on actual conditions. The LSTM method is used to predict the aircraft's landing point, incorporating the aircraft's threat intent as a threat judgment factor. Simultaneously, the influence of radar factors is considered in the terminal phase of the flight. Subsequently, different methods are used to calculate the threat for different threat factors, and the threat values of each factor are fused to obtain the overall threat assessment value for the aircraft. This provides a methodological basis for aircraft threat assessment in practical engineering environments. This invention considers factors such as aircraft threat intent, aircraft-target distance, and radar operating status, avoiding the large errors in threat calculation results caused by the previous single-factor selection. This results in more accurate threat assessment results, meeting the needs of aircraft threat assessment in complex electromagnetic environments.
[0007] The technical solution for achieving this invention is as follows: a method for aircraft threat assessment based on multi-dimensional situational fusion in complex electromagnetic environments, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: When the target formation detects an unknown aircraft entering the measurement range, the LSTM method is used to estimate and predict the aircraft. The LSTM neural network is trained using the center of mass position, center of mass velocity, aircraft-target distance, attitude angles and attitude angular rates in the flight trajectory. The relevant network can be used for real-time aircraft trajectory prediction, where the attitude angles include slip angle, pitch angle and yaw angle.
[0009] Step Two: Analyze the entire flight process of the aircraft, distinguishing it based on dynamic characteristics, and divide the entire flight process into initial, middle, and terminal phases. Simultaneously analyze the terminal flight process, dividing it into far-field, middle-field, and near-field phases based on radar operating principles and layered azimuth prediction schemes. The following phase division function is obtained:
[0010]
[0011] In equation (1), since there are multiple threatened targets in a scenario, the target with the highest value is selected as the reference object. d(t) is the distance between the aircraft and target at time t. d1 is the aircraft-target distance threshold between the initial and middle phases of the aircraft. d2 is the aircraft-target distance threshold between the middle and far-end phases of the aircraft. d3 is the aircraft-target distance threshold between the far-end and middle-end phases of the aircraft. d4 is the aircraft-target distance threshold between the middle and near-end phases of the aircraft. Phase(t) represents the phase division function. If Phase(t) = 0, it means the aircraft is in the initial flight phase; if Phase(t) = 1, it means the aircraft is in the middle flight phase; if Phase(t) = 2, it means the aircraft is in the far-end phase; if Phase(t) = 3, it means the aircraft is in the middle-end phase; and if Phase(t) = 4, it means the aircraft is in the near-end phase.
[0012] Correspondingly, a flight phase selection function is constructed for further selection of phase elements. The flight phase selection function Phase_M(t) is as follows:
[0013]
[0014] The distance between the aircraft and the target can effectively determine the flight stage and operational status of the aircraft. However, the threat factors for assessing the threat level of the aircraft differ depending on the flight stage and operational status.
[0015] Step 3: Use the real-time measured distance between the aircraft and the target to determine the flight stage of the aircraft. Assume the flight stage at time t and output the Phase(t) value to select the parameter value under the corresponding stage.
[0016] Step 4: Calculate the threat value of the aircraft's threatening intent. Based on the center-of-mass position, center-of-mass velocity, attitude angle, and attitude angular velocity values of the aircraft M measured at time t, input them into the trained LSTM neural network to complete the trajectory prediction of the aircraft. Then, use the trajectory prediction results to obtain the predicted landing point of the aircraft. Subsequently, based on the landing point prediction results, determine the target threatened by the aircraft. Finally, use the value of the threatened target to calculate the threat value of the aircraft's threatening intent.
[0017] Step 5: Calculate the distance threat value of the aircraft. Using the real-time measured aircraft-target distance d(t) of the target with the highest aircraft distance value, calculate the distance threat value of the aircraft.
[0018] Step Six: Calculation of the Threat Value of Aircraft Radar Factors. In the terminal phase of flight, the active radar of the aircraft begins to operate. The operating status of the radar directly affects the threat level of the aircraft. Therefore, this invention considers radar factors in the terminal aircraft threat calculation and calculates the threat value of radar factors based on the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory.
[0019] Step 7: Calculate the overall threat value of the aircraft. Based on the threat value w1(t) about the aircraft's threatening intent obtained in Step 4, the threat value w2(t) about the aircraft-target distance obtained in Step 5, and the threat value w3(t) about radar factors calculated in Step 6, and combined with the phase division function Phase(t) obtained in Step 2 based on the aircraft-target distance, the overall threat value W(t) of the aircraft is calculated.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this invention are:
[0021] (1) The new aircraft threat assessment method based on multi-dimensional situational fusion is more in line with actual combat conditions. The aircraft flight process is segmented according to the actual combat situation, and the changes of threat factors throughout the entire flight phase are comprehensively considered. Threat factors such as aircraft-target distance, aircraft threat intent, and radar factors are comprehensively considered, and the threat factors and weights of each phase are divided and allocated in detail, making the threat calculation more in line with the actual scenario.
[0022] (2) More accurate threat assessment of aircraft in complex electromagnetic environments. In threat assessment, the working principle of the main radar is combined, and radar factors are introduced as the basis for threat assessment in the terminal flight phase of the aircraft. The threat level of radar factors is calculated based on the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory.
[0023] (3) Introducing the aircraft threat intent factor into threat assessment makes it more suitable for aircraft threat assessment in multi-target scenarios. This method is based on the LSTM method to predict the aircraft trajectory, determines the aircraft landing point based on the trajectory prediction, determines the aircraft threat intent in real time based on the landing point result, and determines the threat value of the aircraft threat intent based on the value of the threatened target.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0029] The following section will further introduce the specific implementation method, as well as the technical difficulties and inventive points of this invention, using this design example as an example.
[0030] A method for aircraft threat assessment based on multi-dimensional situational awareness fusion in complex electromagnetic environments, comprising the following steps:
[0031] Step 1: When the target formation detects an unknown aircraft entering the measurement range, the LSTM method is used to estimate and predict the aircraft. The LSTM neural network is trained using parameters such as the center of mass position, center of mass velocity, aircraft-target distance, attitude angles (including slip angle, pitch angle, yaw angle) and attitude angular rate in the existing flight trajectory. The relevant network can be used for real-time aircraft trajectory prediction.
[0032] S1.1. By comprehensively analyzing the situational factors contained in the complex electromagnetic environment, the parameters required for aircraft trajectory prediction are extracted. A flight trajectory dataset is constructed based on existing flight trajectory test data. The parameters include the aircraft's center of mass position, center of mass velocity, aircraft-target distance, attitude angles (including roll, pitch, and yaw angles), and attitude angular rate in the ground coordinate system. The aircraft's flight trajectory dataset is then divided into a training set and a test set, with a weighting of 9:1.
[0033] S1.2 The training set is used as the raw input for training the neural network, and the test set is used to validate the trained model. An LSTM neural network is constructed using the aircraft's training set. The forget gate, input gate, and output gate of each neuron in the LSTM network are determined, and the trained model is validated using the test set. Finally, an LSTM neural network is trained, and the network can be used to predict the flight trajectory of the aircraft.
[0034] S1.3. Utilize the aircraft trajectory prediction results, continuously update the data as the flight trajectory dataset changes, correlate and match the results with the actual environment, assess the aircraft trajectory prediction and threatened targets, and determine the aircraft's true intentions. Specific steps are shown in the example. Figure 1 As shown.
[0035] Step Two: Analyze the entire flight process of the aircraft, distinguishing it based on dynamic characteristics, and divide the entire flight process into initial, middle, and terminal phases. Simultaneously analyze the terminal flight process, dividing it into far-field, middle-field, and near-field phases based on radar operating principles and layered azimuth prediction schemes. The following phase division function is obtained:
[0036]
[0037] In equation (1), since there are multiple threatened targets in a scenario, the target with the highest value is selected as the reference object. d(t) is the distance between the aircraft and target at time t. d1 is the aircraft-target distance threshold between the initial and middle phases of the aircraft. d2 is the aircraft-target distance threshold between the middle and far phases of the aircraft. d3 is the aircraft-target distance threshold between the far and middle phases of the aircraft. d4 is the aircraft-target distance threshold between the middle and near phases of the aircraft. The values of d1 to d4 can be given based on experience. Phase(t) represents the phase division function. If Phase(t) = 0, it means the aircraft is in the initial flight phase. If Phase(t) = 1, it means the aircraft is in the middle flight phase. If Phase(t) = 2, it means the aircraft is in the far phase of the final flight phase. If Phase(t) = 3, it means the aircraft is in the middle phase of the final flight phase. If Phase(t) = 4, it means the aircraft is in the near phase of the final flight phase.
[0038] Correspondingly, a flight phase selection function is constructed for further selection of phase elements. The flight phase selection function Phase_M(t) is as follows:
[0039]
[0040] The distance between the aircraft and the target can effectively determine the aircraft's flight phase and operational status. However, the threat factors used to assess the aircraft's threat level differ depending on the flight phase and operational status. The main threat factors considered include... Figure 2 As shown. Due to the limited information and long distance of the aircraft during the initial phase of flight, the aircraft is considered to pose little threat to the targets, and therefore the aircraft threat assessment during the initial phase of flight is not considered.
[0041] Step 3: Use the real-time measured distance between the aircraft and the target to determine the flight stage of the aircraft. Assume the flight stage at time t and output the Phase(t) value to select the parameter value under the corresponding stage.
[0042] S3.1 Assume that aircraft M may pose a threat to various targets in the scenario. There are three different types of targets in the scenario: large, medium and small. Large targets are those with the largest size and the highest economic value; medium targets are those with medium size and medium economic value; and small targets are those with the smallest size and the lowest economic value. According to the target value ranking (i.e., large > medium > small), we obtain target 1, target 2, ..., target i, ..., target N, where target 1 is the target with the highest value in the scenario.
[0043] S3.2. d(t) is measured at time t. Substitute d(t) into equation (1) to obtain the value of Phase(t). Determine the flight stage of the aircraft based on the value of Phase(t).
[0044] Step 4: Calculate the threat value of the aircraft's threatening intent. Based on the center-of-mass position, center-of-mass velocity, attitude angle, and attitude angular velocity values of the aircraft M measured at time t, input them into the trained LSTM neural network to complete the trajectory prediction of the aircraft. Then, use the trajectory prediction results to obtain the predicted landing point of the aircraft. Subsequently, based on the landing point prediction results, determine the target threatened by the aircraft. Finally, use the value of the threatened target to calculate the threat value of the aircraft's threatening intent.
[0045] S4.1. At time t, the center of mass position, center of mass velocity, attitude angle and attitude angular velocity of the aircraft M are measured in real time. The center of mass position, center of mass velocity, attitude angle and attitude angular velocity of the aircraft M measured at time t and before are input into the LSTM network trained in step one to obtain the flight trajectory prediction result of the aircraft.
[0046] S4.2 Based on the flight trajectory prediction results, obtain the predicted landing point coordinates of the aircraft at time t.
[0047] S4.3, Let the real-time coordinates of target i be (x... i (t),0,zi (t)), the real-time landing point prediction value of aircraft M is The formula for calculating the distance between the estimated landing point of aircraft M and the real-time position of target i in the scene is as follows:
[0048]
[0049] MD i (t) represents the predicted landing point error between aircraft M and target i. Based on equation (3), input the real-time target coordinates at time t: (x1(t), 0, z1(t)), (x2(t), 0, z2(t)), ..., (x...). i (t),0,z i (t)), ... (x) N (t),0,z N (t) and the predicted landing point of the aircraft obtained in S4.2 The calculated predicted impact point errors between the estimated aircraft M and targets 1 through N are MD1(t), MD2(t), ..., MD i (t), ..., MD N (t).
[0050] The predicted impact point errors are sorted to obtain the minimum values, and the target with the smallest predicted impact point error is the primary threat to aircraft M; if
[0051] MD i (t)=min(MD1(t),MD2(t),…,MD i (t),…MD N (t)) (4)
[0052] Therefore, the primary threat target of aircraft M is target i. The threatened target vector T(t) is obtained according to equation (4).
[0053] T(t)=[t1(t) … t i (t) … t N (t)] T (5)
[0054] In the formula, t represents the threat determination value of the aircraft against targets 1 to N. i (t) is as follows:
[0055]
[0056] If t i If (t) is 1, it indicates that the aircraft mainly poses a threat to target i; if the value is 0, the threat of the aircraft to target i is not considered.
[0057] S4.4. Based primarily on target value elements and combined with experience, set up a 5×N dimensional threat value matrix M1 for aircraft threat intent. The matrix is as follows:
[0058]
[0059] In the formula, the subscript 1 of M1 indicates a relation to threat intent. The elements in the first row of the matrix represent the threat intent coefficients for targets 1 to N during the mid-course flight phase; the elements in the second row represent the threat intent coefficients for targets 1 to N during the terminal far-field flight phase; the elements in the third row represent the threat intent coefficients for targets 1 to N during the terminal mid-field flight phase; and the elements in the fourth row represent the threat intent coefficients for targets 1 to N during the terminal near-field flight phase. Let n 3i For example, this element represents the threat value of the aircraft M regarding its threat intent when the aircraft is in the terminal phase of flight and the target threatened by aircraft M is target i. The threat value parameters in matrix M1 satisfy...
[0060]
[0061] Wherein, value11 is the threat value of the mid-course threat intent against large targets, value12 is the threat value of the mid-course threat intent against medium-sized targets, and value13 is the threat value of the mid-course threat intent against small targets. The values are determined by expert judgment, and the threat values satisfy value11 > value12 > value13. Based on equation (8), the elements of the aircraft threat intent threat value matrix during the mid-course process are set as shown in equation (7), that is, the first row of the M1 matrix. Similarly:
[0062]
[0063] Wherein, value21 is the threat intention threat value against large targets in the terminal far-field region, value22 is the threat intention threat value against medium-sized targets in the terminal far-field region, and value23 is the threat intention threat value against small targets in the terminal far-field region. The values are determined based on expert judgment, and the threat values satisfy value21 > value22 > value23. Based on equation (9), the elements of the aircraft threat intention threat value matrix in the terminal far-field process shown in equation (7) are set as the second row elements of matrix M1. Similarly:
[0064]
[0065] Wherein, value31 is the threat value of the intent to threaten large targets in the mid-terminal zone, value32 is the threat value of the intent to threaten medium targets in the mid-terminal zone, and value33 is the threat value of the intent to threaten small targets in the mid-terminal zone. The values are given based on expert judgment, and the threat values satisfy value31 > value32 > value33. Based on equation (10), the elements of the threat value matrix for aircraft in the mid-terminal zone process shown in equation (7) are set, that is, the third row of the M1 matrix.
[0066]
[0067] Wherein, value41 is the threat value of the intent to threaten large targets in the terminal near-field region, value42 is the threat value of the intent to threaten medium targets in the terminal near-field region, and value43 is the threat value of the intent to threaten small targets in the terminal near-field region. The values are given based on expert judgment, and the threat values satisfy value41 > value42 > value43. Based on equation (11), the elements of the threat value matrix for aircraft intent during the terminal near-field process are set as shown in equation (7), that is, the fourth row of the M1 matrix.
[0068] S4.5. Based on the target threatened by the aircraft, the value of the threatened target, and the flight phase, determine the threat value of the aircraft's threatening intent. That is, based on the threat intent judgment vector T(t) shown in equation (5), the threat intent threat value matrix M1 shown in equation (7), and the flight phase selection function shown in equation (2) in step two, calculate the threat value formula of the aircraft's threatening intent.
[0069]
[0070] In the formula, w1(t) is the threat value of the aircraft's threatening intent at time t, and the subscript 1 indicates that it is related to the aircraft's threatening intent.
[0071] Step 5: Calculate the distance threat value of the aircraft. Using the real-time measured aircraft-target distance d(t) of the target with the highest distance value, calculate the distance threat value of the aircraft as follows:
[0072] Two thresholds are set for the aircraft-target distance. When the distance is greater than the first threshold, a constant weight is used, and the threat level of the aircraft-target distance is low. When the distance is less than the first threshold but greater than the second threshold, a linear function is used to ensure that the distance factor increases continuously as the distance decreases. When the distance is less than the second threshold, a larger constant weight is used to highlight the influence of the distance factor. The distance d(t) between the aircraft and target at time t is known. The following formula is used to calculate the distance threat level of the aircraft at each time point.
[0073]
[0074] In the formula, w2(t) is the distance threat value of the aircraft. The subscript 2 indicates that this value is related to the distance factor between the aircraft and the target. Since the calculation formula for the distance threat value is the same in the middle and end sections, no subscript is added to distinguish them. D1 and D2 are the number of intervals for the distance threat value. The number of intervals for the distance threat value can be determined based on experience to ensure that it is more in line with the actual engineering environment.
[0075] Step Six: Calculation of the Threat Value of Aircraft Radar Factors. In the terminal phase of flight, the active radar of the aircraft begins to operate. The operating status of the radar directly affects the threat level of the aircraft. Therefore, this invention considers radar factors in the terminal aircraft threat calculation and calculates the threat value of radar factors based on the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory.
[0076] In scenario S6.1, each target can measure the active radar signal parameters of aircraft M, thereby obtaining real-time radar signal parameters: pulse width τ(t), instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and pulse repetition frequency f(t). These three parameters are used as threat factors for radar threat assessment. For each threat factor, five levels of membership functions are established: high (H), medium-high (MH), medium (M), medium-low (ML), and low (L). Based on the trapezoidal membership function method, five levels of membership functions are established for the three threat factors: pulse width, instantaneous bandwidth, and pulse repetition frequency, forming the following table.
[0077] Table 1 Membership Functions of Threat Factors at Different Levels
[0078]
[0079] The membership functions m1(H), m1(MH), ..., m2(M), ..., m3(L) in the table are trapezoidal membership functions. Specifically, m1(H), ..., m1(L) are the membership functions of pulse width τ(t) at the five levels from H to L; m2(H), ..., m2(L) are the membership functions of instantaneous bandwidth B(t) at the five levels from H to L; and m3(H), ..., m3(L) are the membership functions of pulse repetition frequency f(t) at the five levels from H to L. The trapezoidal membership function values in Table 1 are calculated using the pulse width τ(t), instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and pulse repetition frequency f(t) obtained from real-time measurements.
[0080] S6.2. Using the membership functions m1(H), m1(MH), ..., m2(M), ..., m3(L) obtained in S6.1, calculate the Dunn entropy for the three threat factors: pulse width τ(t), instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and pulse repetition frequency f(t).
[0081] The Deng entropy formula is as follows:
[0082]
[0083]
[0084]
[0085] In the formula E d (τ), E d (B), E d (f) represents the Dunn entropy with respect to the pulse width τ(t), the instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and the pulse repetition frequency f(t), respectively.
[0086] S6.3. Using the membership functions m1(H), m1(MH), ..., m2(M), ..., m3(L) obtained in S6.1, calculate the correlation coefficient between the threat factor pulse width τ(t), instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and pulse repetition frequency f(t). The formula is as follows:
[0087]
[0088]
[0089]
[0090] In the formula, c(τ,B) is the correlation coefficient between pulse width and instantaneous bandwidth; c(τ,f) is the correlation coefficient between pulse width and pulse repetition frequency; and c(B,f) is the correlation coefficient between instantaneous bandwidth and pulse repetition frequency.
[0091] S6.4 Calculate the non-normalized weighting coefficients for pulse width τ(t), instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and pulse repetition frequency f(t), using the following formula:
[0092]
[0093]
[0094]
[0095] In the formula, w(τ), w(B), and w(f) are the nonnormalized weighting coefficients for pulse width τ(t), instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and pulse repetition frequency f(t), respectively.
[0096] S6.5 Calculate the normalized weighting coefficients for pulse width τ(t), instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and pulse repetition frequency f(t), using the following formula:
[0097]
[0098]
[0099]
[0100] In the formula w normal (τ), w normal (B), w normal (f) are the normalized weighting coefficients for pulse width τ(t), instantaneous bandwidth B(t), and pulse repetition frequency f(t), respectively.
[0101] S6.6 Calculate the average membership degree corresponding to the five threat levels H, MH, M, ML, and L, using the following formula:
[0102] T(H) = w normal (τ)·m1(H)+w normal (B)·m2(H)+w normal (f)·m3(H) (26)
[0103] T(MH)=w normal (τ)·m1(MH)+w normal (B)·m2(MH)+w normal (f)·m3(MH) (27)
[0104] T(M) = w normal (τ)·m1(M)+w normal (B)·m2(M)+w normal (f)·m3(M) (28)
[0105] T(ML) = w normal (τ)·m1(ML)+w normal (B)·m2(ML)+w normal (f)·m3(ML) (29)
[0106] T(L)=w normal (τ)·m1(L)+w normal (B)·m2(L)+w normal (f)·m3(L) (30)
[0107] In the formula, T(H), T(MH), T(M), T(ML), and T(L) are the average membership values for the five threat levels H, MH, M, ML, and L, respectively.
[0108] S6.7. Data fusion is performed on the membership functions of the five threat levels: H, MH, M, ML, and L.
[0109]
[0110]
[0111]
[0112]
[0113]
[0114] In the formula, m(H), m(MH), m(M), m(ML), and m(L) are the membership functions of the five threat levels H, MH, M, ML, and L after fusion.
[0115] S6.8. Threat coefficients k(H), k(MH), k(M), k(ML), and k(L) are given for the five threat levels H, MH, M, ML, and L. Threat coefficients k(H), k(MH), k(M), k(ML), and k(L) can be given by experience.
[0116] S6.9 Calculate the real-time threat value w3(t) for radar factors, using the following formula:
[0117]
[0118] Step 7: Calculate the overall threat value of the aircraft. Based on the threat value w1(t) about the aircraft's threatening intent obtained in Step 4, the threat value w2(t) about the aircraft-target distance obtained in Step 5, and the threat value w3(t) about radar factors calculated in Step 6, and combined with the phase division function Phase(t) obtained in Step 2 based on the aircraft-target distance, the overall threat value W(t) of the aircraft is calculated.
[0119] Based on the calculated threat levels w1(t), range threat level w2(t), and radar factor threat level w3(t) at time t, and combined with the phase division function Phase(t), the comprehensive threat level of aircraft M is calculated. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
