Allowable missile launch zone calculation for multi-fighter coordination attack under network targeting environment

Network targeting is a new technology which is developed to adapt to the network centric warfare. Based on the operational characteristics of the complex attack, the air-to-air missile launching mode is analyzed, and the calculation method of the missile launching area is given. On the basis of the model of missile and target kinematics, the fast simulation method is used to calculate the missile launching area. Two typical fighter formations under network targeting are picked to compare to platform targeting. Finally the change trend of the missile launching area is summarized under network targeting environment.
