Abstract:

In order to carry out efficient and safe path planning for fighter aircraft, multiple constraints such as carrier threat, fuel consumption, mission time frame, and turning radius, are considered simultaneously to improve combat effectiveness. In order to meet these requirements, a mutiple constraints path planning method is proposed for fighter aircraft, i.e., considering the constraints of three-dimensional terrain, threat sources, energy consumption, mission time, etc., constructing the aggregated fitness function in the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, and evaluating the fly ability of the paths by using the limit curvature matrix. In addition, the weight of each constraint on the result can be determined according to the task requirements. Experiments prove that the method can quickly and effectively generate the optimal path that meets the requirements and has practical application value.

Key words: path planning, multiple constraint, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, aggregated fitness function, threat source, limit curvature matrice
