Autonomous cooperative guidance based on distributed consensus and self-management

As for the time-space cooperative guidance under complex offense-defense game conditions, this article proposes a distributed time-space cooperative guidance strategy based on consensus theory and missile group (MG) self-management. The strategy consists of a three-layer cooperative guidance system: the lower layer is the impact time and angle control guidance (ITACG) based on optimal control with minimum energy consumption. The middle layer is the time-space cooperative control strategy via distributed consistency with the time-to-go as the coordination variable. The upper layer is the MG self-management strategy considering the complex attack-defense conditions. The simulation results show that the cooperative strategy can achieve simultaneous attack at different directions and improve the penetration probability and the ability to respond to the attack-defense situation effectively.
