Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of ballistic simulation technology, specifically a simulation solution method for the reachable domain of the terminal guidance phase of an air-to-surface missile. Background Technology

[0002] The reachability domain of an air-to-surface missile in its terminal guidance phase refers to the strike range that the air-to-surface missile can cover if it changes its target after entering the terminal guidance phase. As one of the important indicators for measuring the terminal strike capability of an air-to-surface missile, the reachability domain of its terminal guidance phase is related to a variety of factors, making it particularly important to be able to calculate it quickly and effectively.

[0003] Currently, there is limited research on the reachability domain of air-to-surface missiles during the terminal guidance phase. Although most existing attack range calculations employ simulation methods, they involve wide-area searches, making it difficult to balance calculation speed and accuracy. A method is needed that can quickly and effectively calculate the reachability domain of air-to-surface missiles during the terminal guidance phase. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this application provides a simulation method for calculating the reachable domain of the terminal guidance phase of an air-to-surface missile. By considering the field-of-view constraints of the air-to-surface missile seeker to narrow the search range, it can quickly and effectively calculate the reachable domain of the terminal guidance phase of the air-to-surface missile.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a simulation calculation method for the reachable domain of an air-to-surface missile in the terminal guidance phase, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Obtain the initial state and original target state of the missile when it enters terminal guidance, and establish the missile body coordinate system and inertial coordinate system;

[0007] In the missile body coordinate system, select the search angles of the new target in the missile's yaw and pitch directions to determine the initial position of the new target in the inertial coordinate system;

[0008] The motion model of the missile and the new target is integrated and iterated to obtain the final hit result and record the reachable domain boundary of that orientation;

[0009] The search angles for new targets in the missile's yaw and pitch directions are updated, and the reachable domain of the air-to-surface missile's terminal guidance phase is formed after traversal.

[0010] The initial state includes the missile's altitude, pitch angle, yaw angle, and airspeed at the moment of terminal guidance, while the original target state includes the original target's velocity direction and magnitude.

[0011] The missile body coordinate system is established with the missile's center of mass as the origin, and the inertial coordinate system is established with the projection of the missile's initial position onto the horizontal plane as the origin.

[0012] Among them, the search angles for new targets in the yaw and pitch directions are constrained by the seeker locking angle, which requires that the ground target be within the seeker's field of view.

[0013] The initial position of the new target in the inertial coordinate system is determined by the search angle of the new target and the seeker locking distance constraint, which requires the ground target to be within the seeker's field of view.

[0014] In the process of integral iteration of the motion models of the missile and the new target, the new target moves according to the motion characteristics of its own model, and the missile tracks the target based on its own guidance law.

[0015] The search angles for new targets in the updated missile yaw and pitch directions, after traversal, form the reachable domain of the air-to-surface missile's terminal guidance phase, including:

[0016] Determine whether the search angles for new targets in the pitch direction have been traversed.

[0017] If not, continue updating the pitch search angle; if so, update the yaw search angle.

[0018] When the search angles for new targets in the yaw direction have been traversed, the maximum and minimum boundaries of the missile in each yaw direction are compared and obtained with the missile's initial position as the center.

[0019] This allows the maximum and minimum boundaries to form the reachable domain of the air-to-surface missile's terminal guidance phase in the polar coordinate system.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0021] This application provides a simulation method for calculating the reachable domain of an air-to-surface missile in its terminal guidance phase. It considers the field-of-view constraints of the air-to-surface missile seeker, narrows the search range of the reachable domain, and improves the calculation efficiency. The calculation process is independent of the type and motion characteristics of the air-to-surface missile and the target, and has good compatibility with different types of missiles and targets. It is an efficient simulation method for calculating the reachable domain of an air-to-surface missile in its terminal guidance phase with a certain degree of scalability.
