Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft carrier deck path planning technology, specifically to an aircraft carrier deck path planning method based on a dynamic partitioned adaptive potential field. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, future aircraft carrier operations will exhibit three significant characteristics: deep intelligence, distributed collaboration, and cross-domain integration. Against this backdrop, the intelligent upgrades of carrier-based aircraft and tractors, as core equipment for aircraft carrier deck operations, are crucial for improving operational efficiency and safety. In particular, heterogeneous unmanned equipment composed of unmanned carrier-based aircraft and unmanned tractors faces more complex path planning and control challenges during deck transport than individual pieces of equipment.

[0003] The following key issues exist in current aircraft carrier deck operations: First, the operational area is spatially limited and highly dynamic, and the strong coupling characteristics of heterogeneous unmanned equipment require path planning to support multi-objective parallel processing; second, the transport of carrier-based aircraft must follow strict operational rules, such as the space freezing mechanism of relevant runways during landing, which further exacerbates the complexity of deck space utilization; finally, due to the special motion characteristics of heterogeneous unmanned equipment and the need for real-time obstacle avoidance, the path planning difficulty is significantly higher than that of single equipment.

[0004] Due to the aforementioned problems in current aircraft carrier deck operations, existing path planning methods all have limitations: traditional graph-based A* and Dijkstra algorithms, while guaranteeing path optimality, suffer from static environment assumptions that are difficult to adapt to dynamic obstacle changes; the artificial potential field method, while computationally efficient, has drawbacks such as local optima traps and insufficient support for heterogeneous equipment collaboration. Furthermore, these methods all exhibit significant inadequacy in handling the highly dynamic and strongly coupled deck operation environment.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a path planning method for heterogeneous unmanned equipment on aircraft carrier decks that can achieve efficient utilization of deck space, construct dynamic safety boundary models, and solve the problem of path planning algorithms often getting stuck in local minima. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a carrier deck path planning method based on dynamic partitioning adaptive potential field.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In terms of space utilization efficiency, this invention breaks through the limitations of traditional static zoning strategies. By constructing a dynamic zoning control strategy, it dynamically adjusts zoning access permissions in real time, optimizing the utilization of deck space resources while ensuring safety. Unlike existing technologies that simply and crudely prohibit all transport operations crossing the runway, this invention precisely controls transport permissions through mathematical relationships, effectively solving the problem of runway area space freezing and creating favorable conditions for the efficient scheduling of carrier-based aircraft.

[0044] In the area of ​​heterogeneous unmanned equipment collaboration, this invention considers the unique motion characteristics of the carrier-based aircraft-towing vehicle combination and establishes a safety envelope equation that includes an expansion coefficient. Compared to traditional methods that crudely simplify complex equipment into point masses, the safety envelope equation established in this invention is more in line with engineering practice, significantly improving the collision avoidance capability of heterogeneous equipment collaboration, while also making path planning more rational and efficient. This refined modeling method provides a reliable guarantee for the collaborative operation of multiple types of equipment.

[0045] In terms of environmental adaptability, the adaptive dynamic potential field algorithm proposed in this invention significantly improves the dynamic obstacle avoidance capability of heterogeneous unmanned equipment. A three-layer dynamic potential field is constructed by introducing a field intensity modulating operator. Simultaneously, curl perturbation technology is incorporated to address the problem of traditional artificial potential field methods easily getting trapped in local optima. This invention utilizes an adaptive repulsive field to achieve obstacle avoidance, and combines it with curl field perturbation technology to ensure that feasible paths can still be found in boundary constraint regions and obstacle regions, significantly improving the obstacle avoidance capability of heterogeneous unmanned equipment in complex deck environments.

[0046] Based on the aforementioned innovations, this invention is particularly suitable for the extremely complex, dynamic, and high-risk operating environment of aircraft carrier decks, demonstrating significant advantages in application scenarios such as multi-aircraft landing scheduling and rapid transfer, dense static and dynamic obstacle avoidance, and collaborative operations of multiple heterogeneous equipment. Through dynamic partitioning management and adaptive potential field planning, this invention effectively solves the path conflicts and deadlock problems caused by the strong coupling of aircraft carrier deck tasks and limited space, providing core technical support for improving the sortie and recovery efficiency of carrier-based aircraft and the level of intelligence in deck operations.

[0056] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0058] This invention provides the following technical solutions: like Figure 1 The method for aircraft carrier deck path planning based on dynamic partitioning adaptive potential field, as shown, specifically includes the following steps: S1. Establish a dynamic zone control strategy: Divide the deck transportable area into Zone A and Zone B based on the landing runway boundary, monitor the carrier-based aircraft landing operation status in real time, and dynamically adjust the access permissions of Zone A and Zone B. In one embodiment, to more intuitively describe the impact of carrier-based aircraft landing operations on relocation operations, a system is established as follows: Figure 2The diagram shows a schematic of aircraft carrier deck movement. The runway boundary divides the movable area of ​​the deck into zones A and B, with zone B being the area enclosed by the runway and the island superstructure. The diagram also shows the movement of aircraft from zone A to catapult position 3 in zone B (curve ab) when there are no landing operations. Since no aircraft are landing, ab can cross the runway for movement. In such cases, traditional path planning algorithms can meet the deck movement requirements; this invention will not discuss this further, but only considers deck movement path planning when there are landing operations.

[0059] In one embodiment, the following relationship applies to carrier-based aircraft landing and relocation operations on the ship's deck:

[0060] in, This indicates the number of carrier-based aircraft parked in area A of the deck; the maximum number of aircraft that can be parked is [number missing]. ; The catapults in area B are designated as catapult 3 and catapult 4. This indicates that carrier-based aircraft in area A are moving to catapult positions in area B, for example... This indicates that aircraft carrier-based aircraft number 1 in area A is moving to catapult position number 3 in area B. This indicates that there is shipboard work on the deck at this time; conversely... This indicates no. Similarly, the relationship between aircraft from area B and catapult positions in area A can be obtained as follows:

[0061] in, This indicates the number of carrier-based aircraft parked in deck area B; the maximum number that can be parked is [number missing]. ; The catapults in area B are designated as catapult 1 and catapult 2. Aside from the two scenarios mentioned above, the movement of aircraft from area A to catapult 2 also requires further discussion:

[0062] In one embodiment, when landing operations are being carried out on the deck, such as Figure 2 The situation described in the text makes direct transport difficult; carrier-based aircraft in Area A are not allowed to directly cross the landing runway to reach the catapult position in Area B (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). Therefore, in order to improve the operational efficiency of the ship's deck, it is necessary to propose a new path planning method that takes into account the landing operation. First, all permissible transport situations under ship operations are sorted out, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Combined with Figure 4 It can be seen that by implementing zoned control and relocation of carrier-based aircraft on the deck, the impact of landing operations on relocation operations can be effectively simplified.

[0063] S2. Collect initialization environment information: Establish the ship deck coordinate system and obtain the starting point, target point and obstacle information of the heterogeneous unmanned equipment, set the deck boundary function and determine the area where the heterogeneous unmanned equipment is located.

This represents the longitudinal coordinate of the carrier-based aircraft's center of mass on the ship's deck. This represents the straight-line distance from a point within region A or region B to the boundary function.

[0067] S3.

In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 The diagram shows a flowchart of a heterogeneous unmanned equipment surface path planning method that considers the adaptive dynamic potential field method for landing operations.

[0068] In one embodiment, the path planning of heterogeneous unmanned equipment differs significantly from that of individual equipment, especially for heterogeneous unmanned equipment combining an unmanned tractor and an unmanned carrier-based aircraft. Furthermore, to improve the collision avoidance performance of heterogeneous unmanned equipment, an expansion coefficient needs to be incorporated into the path planning of the unmanned carrier-based aircraft. Combining Figure 7 It can be known Let be the distance from the nose of the carrier-based aircraft to the nose of the tractor unit in the heterogeneous unmanned equipment. Since the articulation point can rotate, this distance is allowed if and only if the angle between the tractor unit and the carrier-based aircraft is 0. The maximum value is obtained, and it will be named as follows. .

[0069] In one embodiment, the process of establishing a heterogeneous unmanned equipment model includes: according to Figure 8 The diagram illustrates the collision avoidance mechanism of the heterogeneous unmanned equipment, and its expansion coefficient is shown.
