Research on formation collision avoidance of aircraft cooperative penetration based on improved potential field method

Aiming at the problem of sudden threat avoidance in the process of aircraft formation cooperative penetration, formation collision avoidance strategies based on improved artificial potential field method are proposed. The effective range of the artificial repulsion potential field and the collision avoidance airspace of the sudden threat source are established. To improve the artificial potential field, the formation velocity correction coefficient and the threat source entry angle correction coefficient are introduced. In addition, the improved artificial repulsion potential energy function is defined. Based on the improved artificial potential filed in three-dimensional space, the formation collision avoidance controller on the horizontal and altitude channel are proposed respectively. Flight control commands such as rudder angle, aileron rudder angle, and elevator yaw angle are given. The simulation results confirm the security and efficiency of the formation collision avoidance strategy.
