Method for air combat formation optimization with uncertain information

For solving the problem of difficulty to select formation with uncertain information of target equipment in air combat condition, a method for formation optimization based on commanders' subjective recognition is proposed. First, combat power of lighter is calculated, which is the basis of evaluation for combat power of target via commanders' subjective recognition. Then the air combat formation is optimized by employing prospect theory and comprehensive fuzzy evaluation. Finally, an application example is set to illustrate the validity and usability of the method proposed.
