Target assignment in BVR air combat

Aiming at the key problem of threat estimation and target assignment in beyond-visual-range (BVR) air combat, a non-parameter threat estimation model was formulated based on characteristics of BVR air combat, which takes into account aircraft's combat effectiveness and situation superiority including angle superiority, distance superiority and velocity superiority. A multi-target assignment algorithm was put forward on the basis of the threat estimation model. The multi-target assignment algorithm emphasizes the cooperating and supporting process during BVR air combat and can be calculated easily. Simulation is carried out and the result shows the validity of the algorithm.
