Abstract:

In the simulation of satellite navigation countermeasure effectiveness, the simulation calculation for the influence of terrain occlusion on the interference range of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) interference source in real geographical environment is an important problem. In general, the calculation of the influence of terrain occlusion on GNSS interference range is obtained by the algorithm based on the line-of-sight viewshed analysis, but there are a lot of redundant calculations in this method. In order to reduce the amount of calculation, an efficient simulation calculation method of GNSS interference range based on the viewshed analysis of reference surface is proposed. The reference surface is established by using the auxiliary grid point corresponding to the visual elevation value near the interference source and target point. The interference situation of the target point is judged by the mapping elevation value of the target point and the actual elevation value of the reference surface, which avoides the interpolation calculation of multiple sampling points in the line-of-sight direction between the target point and the interference source. Simulation analysis shows that when the radius of the area to be analyzed is about 145 290 m, compared with the traditional simulation method of GNSS interference range based on the line-of-sight viewshed analysis, the Matlab time consumption is greatly reduced by 97.38%, but the results difference is not obvious, only 0.94%. Therefore, the proposed method can efficiently and accurately calculate the GNSS interference range under the influence of terrain, and provide theoretical guidance for the optimal deployment of interference sources and battlefield environment simulation analysis.
