Aircraft descent arc energy planning method and apparatus

This invention provides a method and apparatus for energy planning during the descent phase of an aircraft. After the first-stage engine separates, the minimum RCS attitude of the aircraft is calculated based on its current position and the position of the target detection point. When the aircraft's flight altitude exceeds a preset altitude, its attitude is adjusted to the minimum RCS attitude, and the aircraft is controlled to fly without power. After the aircraft reaches the highest point of its orbit without power, the optimal firing time and optimal firing attitude of the second-stage engine are searched based on the aircraft's tilt angle constraints and reentry point coordinate constraints. The second-stage engine is controlled to ignite at the optimal firing time, and the aircraft's attitude is adjusted to the optimal firing attitude. This achieves the control of the second-stage engine not igniting during the ascent phase of the elliptical orbit. After the aircraft flies without power over the highest point of the elliptical orbit, it flies according to the searched optimal firing time and optimal firing attitude. After the engine is exhausted, it flies according to the attitude constrained by the reentry angle of attack, ensuring that the aircraft's orbit meets the constraints. This increases the difficulty of detection, tracking, and orbit prediction for the aircraft during the second-stage flight phase.
