Lateral Maneuver A-Star Path Planning Algorithm of Two UAV Air Combat Confrontation

The lack of autonomous decision ability of UAV has always been the main factor restricting UAV to enter the field of air combat. Using heuristic algorithm to construct the attack path of UAV lateral maneuver can get rid of the dependence on training method, and has strong expansibility in the future, which is easy to optimize. Based on A-star algorithm, a path planning algorithm for UAV lateral maneuver decision-making in medium range air combat is proposed. The algorithm can plan position and speed of UAV. Through the simulation experiment, the feasibility of the algorithm in achieving tactical effect is verified.
