A kind of airspace coordination algorithm for shipborne weapons common-frame launch

Abstract

Common-frame launch has been a development trend of shipborne weapon systems, but it can increase the hazard of collision and disturbance between weapons both during launch and in flight. In order to ensure the safety of ship and weapons, common-frame launched weapons must be coordinated in airspace and time. In this paper, we put forward a kind of airspace coordination algorithm for shipborne weapons common-frame launch by analyzing the safety problems brought by common-frame launch. Then we discuss the influence of random weapon selection on the coordination results by a simulation example, and advance an improvement on the algorithm flow. The results show that the algorithm with the improved flow can avoid the bad probability of random weapon selection and resolve problems of airspace coordination.
