Integrated Threat Assessment Method of Beyond-Visual-Range Air Combat

Beyond-visual-range (BVR) air combat threat assessment has attracted wide attention as the support of situation awareness and autonomous decision-making. However, the traditional threat assessment method is flawed in its failure to consider the intention and event of the target, resulting in inaccurate assessment results. In view of this, an integrated threat assessment method is proposed to address the existing problems, such as overly subjective determination of index weight and imbalance of situation. The process and characteristics of BVR air combat are analyzed to establish a threat assessment model in terms of target intention, event, situation, and capability. On this basis, a distributed weight-solving algorithm is proposed to determine index and attribute weight respectively. Then, variable weight and game theory are introduced to effectively deal with the situation imbalance and achieve the combination of subjective and objective. The performance of the model and algorithm is evaluated through multiple simulation experiments. The assessment results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method in BVR air combat, indicating its potential practical significance in real air combat scenarios.
