Description

1. Technical field to which the invention belongs

The invention relates to the field of aviation technology, in particular to aircraft equipment, and can be used for intelligent support of the master (VDS) and slave (VDM) pair of fighters M in the process of conducting long-range air combat with a pair of enemy fighters N (long-range air combat MxN at max (M,N) ≤ 2; hereinafter DBV MxN) for all its configurations that arise during the battle, for any current attack phase of each enemy fighter and if all opposing fighters have the ability to conduct only single-target fire.

The MxN DBV configuration is determined by the number of active (at the current moment of the battle) aircraft in opposing pairs: each pair has two aircraft - the combat configuration (2x2); pair M has two aircraft, and pair N has one aircraft left - combat configuration (2x1); one plane remained in the M pair, and two aircraft in the N pair - the combat configuration (1x2); each pair has one aircraft left - battle configuration (1x1).

Long-range air combat of modern fighters for a pilot is one of the most intense modes of operation due to its transience and unpredictability of the aggressive actions of the enemy, dynamic changes in the composition of fighters in opposing pairs (combat configurations). The pilot is forced to make decisions under conditions of acute time pressure. Under these conditions, it is important not only to provide each aircraft of the pair with information about the location of enemy aircraft, the current phase of the attack of the mate (VDS and VDM), but also to provide intellectual support to the pilots when they decide:

a) the tasks of assigning a tactical technique for introducing aircraft / aircraft of a pair into a long-range air battle with enemy fighters / fighters,

b) goal allocation tasks,

c) the tasks of choosing the trajectory of an attack, determining the moment of launching a missile and the moments of applying interference to an enemy fighter.

2. State of the art

The closest analogue to the proposed invention is the basic airborne operational advice system for a duel situation of long-range air combat (Demkin M.A., Tishchenko Yu.E., Fedunov B.E. "Airborne operational advice system for a duel situation of long-range air combat." Russian Academy of Sciences). Theory and control systems. 2008. No. 4, p. 59-75).

The known system is designed for a duel situation of long-range air combat between two opposing fighters (DBV 1x1). At the same time, the duel situation begins under the agreed conditions and continues with the same enemy fighter (initial and subsequent configurations of the 1x1 DBV). problem subsituations (PrS/S):

PrS / S “Taking a tactically advantageous position by a fighter” (PrS / S “TVP”),

PrS / S "Attack",

PrS / S "Defense with an attack",

PrS / S "Protection".

In this system, operational recommendations are developed to the pilot on the method of solving these PRS/S.

The disadvantages of the well-known analogue include the fact that the system does not cover all current configurations in long-range air combat of fighter pairs, in which the conditions for the occurrence of dueling situations change depending on the configuration of the battle, the actions of the partner and each fighter of the enemy pair. In addition, in the battle of pairs of fighters, the duel situation that has begun may be interrupted to assist the partner, or it may be necessary to quickly change the tactical method of combat and / or the target distribution option being implemented.

3. The essence of the invention

The technical result of the invention is to increase the efficiency of long-range air combat of pairs of fighters in its various configurations that occur both at the beginning of the battle and during its execution.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the invention contains an incoming information processing unit, a configuration unit (2x2) DBV MxN, which makes recommendations on tactics and attack targets; configuration block (2x1) DBV MxN, which provides recommendations on tactical reception and target for the attack; configuration block (1x2) DBV MxN, which provides recommendations on tactical reception and target for the attack; a block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 WST that has arisen in the configurations (2x2), (2x1), (1x2), (1x1) MxN WST; a block that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the 1x1 DBV that has arisen in any configuration (2x2), (2x1), (1x2), (1x1) DBV MxN; block for preparing information for the information-control field (IMF). At the same time, the block for processing incoming information is connected with its outputs to the block that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the 1x1 DBV that has arisen in any configuration (2x2), (2x1), (1x2), (1x1) DBV MxN, and to the configuration blocks (2x2) DBV MxN, configurations (2x1) WBM MxN, configurations (1x2) WBW MxN, the outputs of which are connected to the block that determines the conditions for the start of the WBW 1x1, and the block for preparing information on the IUP, while the output of the block that determines the conditions for the start of the WBW 1x1 is connected to the first input a block that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the 1x1 DBV, the second input and output of which is connected to the corresponding output and input by the block for processing incoming information.

The control part of the IEP (8) provides a quick input by the pilot of a signal, by which the pilot informs about his consent to the implementation of the recommendation, and a signal about the correction of the vector of criteria priorities in the method of multi-criteria selection of an alternative. Signals about the pilot's consent to the implementation of the recommendations presented to him at the MFI are transmitted to all blocks where these recommendations are developed (to blocks (2), (3), (4), (6)).

5. Implementation of the invention

The invention can be presented in a single computer that contains processors and a memory module, but it is preferable to implement each configuration block on its own computer, the structure of which is focused on the specifics of the procedures performed in the block, which ensures the required speed of the computers and the ability to make adjustments to the procedures of one configuration, while maintaining performance of other configurations.

The system of intellectual support for fighter pilots in long-range air combat with a pair of enemy fighters includes an incoming information processing unit (1), a configuration unit (2x2) MxN DBV, which makes recommendations on tactics and attack targets (2), a configuration unit (2x1) DBV MхN, carrying out the issuance of recommendations on the tactical method and the target for the attack (3), the configuration block (1х2) DBV MхN, carrying out the issuance of recommendations on the tactical method and the target for the attack (4), the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1х1 DBV that has arisen in configurations ( 2x2), (2x1), (1x2), (1x1) WBV MxN (5); a block that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the 1x1 (6) WST that occurs in the configurations (2x2), (2x1), (1x2), (1x1) MxN WST; a block for preparing information for the IEP (7), in which a form for presenting recommendations to the pilot on multifunctional indicators (MFI) is constructed and it is quickly transferred to the IEP (8).

The invention is placed on board the VDShch and VDM. They constantly exchange the following current information through on-board telecode communication systems:

a sign of the presence/existence of a fighter "I'm in a pair", where "I" denotes, respectively, VDS or VDM;

sign and phase (problem subsituation) of "my" attack of the enemy fighter, which is attacked by "I";

sign and phase of attack of each enemy fighter that attacks "me", where "me" means VDS or VDM;

coordinates and velocity vector of your aircraft;

coordinates and velocity vectors of the observed aircraft of the enemy pair.

The above information from the partner comes through regular on-board digital computers (OCVM) to the incoming information processing unit (1), in which the incoming information is processed, which makes it possible to determine the current configuration of the WSS MxN and the attacks that occur in each configuration M, PrS/S attacks by planes of a pair of M enemy planes: "Me" is attacked by an enemy plane, but "I" at this time attack either another enemy plane or do not attack anyone or attack it.

According to the information coming from the block (6), in the information processing block (1) the current SP/S that have arisen in the VDS and in the VDM are determined in their 1x1 dogfight.

The MxN DBW configuration is determined by the number of existing (currently MxN DBW) aircraft of its own pair and aircraft of the enemy pair. The current problematic subsituation of the 1x1 DBV for own board, determined by the signal received from block (6), and for the partner's board by the sign received via telecode communication from its board.

After determining the battle configuration feature at the current time in the input information processing block (1), the signal with the battle configuration feature is transmitted to the corresponding block.

From block (1), a signal with a configuration sign (2x2) enters the configuration block (2x2) of the WBM MxN (2), which contains a knowledge base that has two hierarchical levels.

At the first hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the configuration (2x2) of the WBM MxN, the production rules determine the sign of that SP/S that corresponds to the current external situation. The attribute PrS/S is transferred to the second hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the configuration (2x2) of the MxN DBW.

At this hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the configuration (2x2) of the MxN CWT, according to this attribute, one corresponding CW/C of the (2x2) CWB configuration from among the possible CW/C in this combat configuration is activated:

-PRS/S "Selecting a tactical technique", in which a tactical technique is selected from a set of tactical techniques contained in the knowledge base, developed for DBV2x2. The method of solving PrS / S - according to the precedent;

- PrS / S "Target distribution", in which the aircraft of the enemy pair are distributed between the aircraft of our pair. The method of solving PrS/S is an operational multi-criteria choice of an alternative.

A signal containing information about the recommended tactical technique and recommended VDM and VDS targets for an attack is transmitted from the configuration unit (2x2) of the MxN DBV (2) through the unit (7) to the IUE (8).

The signal containing information about the targets recommended for attack is transmitted from the configuration block (2x2) of the MxN (2) WST to the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 (5) WST. Further, after the signal from the IEP (8) is received, which means the consent of the pilot, to the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 WTA (5), information on the assigned target enters the block that generates recommendations on the problematic substitutions of the battle of the 1x1 WBV (6).

When configuring (2x1) WBM MxN, the signal with the configuration flag enters the configuration block (2x1) WBM MxN (3), which contains the knowledge base, which has two hierarchical levels.

At the first hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the configuration (2x1) WBM MxN, the production rules determine the attribute of that S/S that corresponds to the current external environment. The attribute PrS/S is transferred to the second hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the configuration (2x1) DBW MxN.

At this hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the (2x1) MxN DBV configuration, according to this attribute, one corresponding AP/S of the MxN DBV configuration (2x1) from among the possible AP/S in this combat configuration is activated:

S/S "Selecting a tactical technique", in which a tactical technique is selected from a set of tactical techniques contained in the knowledge base, developed for the 2x1 WBV. The method of solving PrS / S - according to the precedent;

PrS / S "Target allocation", in which the enemy aircraft is assigned to one of the aircraft of our pair. The method of solving PrS/S is an operational multi-criteria choice of an alternative.

A signal containing information about the recommended tactical technique and the recommended VDM or VDS target for attack is transmitted from the configuration unit (2x1) of the MxN DBV (3) through the unit (7) to the IUP (8).

The signal containing information about the target recommended for the attack is transmitted from the configuration block (2x1) WBM MxN (3) to the block that determines the conditions for the start of WBW 1x1 (5). Further, after the signal from the IEP (8) arrives, indicating the consent of the pilot, to the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 WTA (5), information on the assigned target enters the block that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the battle of the 1x1 WBV (6).

When the battle is configured (1x2) WBM MxN, the signal with the configuration attribute from block 1 enters the configuration block (1x2) WBM MxN(4), which contains the knowledge base, which has two hierarchical levels.

At the first hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the configuration (1x2) of the WBM MxN, the production rules determine the attribute of that SP/S that corresponds to the current external situation. The attribute is transferred to the second hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the configuration (1x2) WBM MxN.

At this hierarchical level of the knowledge base of the (1x2) MxN DBW configuration, according to this attribute, one corresponding SP/S of the MxN DBW configuration (1x2) from among the possible SP/S in this combat configuration is activated:

- PrS/S "Choosing a tactical technique", in which a tactical technique is selected from a set of tactical techniques contained in the knowledge base, developed for the 1x2 WBV. The method of solving the PrS / S - according to the precedent.

- PrS / S "Target allocation", in which one of the two enemy aircraft is assigned to attack. The method of solving PrS/S is an operational multi-criteria choice of an alternative.

The signal containing information about the recommended tactical technique and the recommended VDM and VDS targets for the attack is transmitted from the configuration unit (1x2) of the MxN DBV (4) through the unit (7) to the IEP (8).

The signal containing information about the target recommended for the attack is transmitted from the configuration block (1x2) of the MxN (4) DBW to the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 DBW (5). Further, after the signal from the IEP (8) is received, which means the consent of the pilot, to the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 WTA (5), information on the assigned target enters the block that generates recommendations on the problematic substitutions of the battle of the 1x1 WBV (6).

S/S "Choosing a tactical technique" in the blocks of configuration (2x2) DBW MxN (2), configuration (2x1) DBW MxN (3), configuration (1x2) DBW MxN (4) is solved according to the precedent .

Formation of data for the decision of the S/S according to the precedent is carried out by the procedure for calculating the coordinates of the situational vector from the current information (problem subsituation - precedent). The choice of the recommended precedent occurs according to the situational vector obtained in the procedural knowledge matrix of this CP/S, in which the priorities of all precedents included in the knowledge matrix are calculated. The use case with the highest priority contains the way to solve the CP/S. The signal containing information about this method is fed through the information preparation unit for the IEP (7) to the display of the information and control field (8) of the cockpit.

S/S "Purpose Allocation" in the blocks of configuration (2x2) DBW MxN (2), configuration (2x1) DBW MxN (3) and configuration (1x2) DBW MxN (4) is resolved by the method of multi-criteria selection of alternatives.

In the method of multi-criteria choice of alternatives, alternatives (methods for solving PrS/S) are generated from the generalized types of alternatives for resolving the PrS/S, which are adjusted together with mathematical models of objects to the current external situation. In the mentioned alternative selection blocks, on the mathematical models of the usage scenario of each generated alternative, based on the results of the operational modeling of each alternative, a priority matrix of the generated alternatives is formed for each criterion of their evaluation embedded in the block. Based on this matrix and on the criterion priority vector obtained from the flight task and possibly promptly corrected by the crew, the values of the final priorities of the generated alternatives are calculated. The alternative with the highest final priority is transmitted through the information preparation unit for the IEP (7) to the display of the information and control field (8) of the cockpit.

In block (1), together with the signs of the WST MxN configuration (configurations (2x2) WST MxN, (2x1) WST MxN, (1x2) WST MxN), a sign of the 1x1 WST that has arisen in these configurations is generated. Therefore, a block is connected to the characteristic through block (5), which generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the 1x1 DBA (6).

Along with these features of the MxN RWB configurations from block 1, the MxN RWB configuration (2x2) configuration (2x1) MxN (3) RWB configuration (3), MxN (4) RWB configuration (1x2) is fed from the standard onboard computer and from the block that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions WBV 1x1 (6), information:

coordinates and velocity vectors of fighters of opposing opponents;

a sign that arose in this configuration of long-range air combat DBV 1x1;

current PrS/S VSSh and VDM in the implemented 1x1 WSS;

signs of enemy fighters of a pair of N, attacking the airborne and airborne forces.

Tactical technique and target distribution option formed in the configuration block (2x2) DBV MxN (2), in the configuration block (2x1) DBV MxN (3) or in the configuration block (1x2) DBV MxN (4) depending on the configuration of the battle at the current moment , are transferred to the block for preparing information for the IEP (7). The goal for the VSS and VDM, together with information about it, is transmitted to the block that determines the conditions of the 1x1 WSS (5).

In the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 (5) WST according to the signal received from one of the blocks of the configuration (2x2) WST MxN (2), the configuration (2x1) WST MxN (3) of the configuration (1x2) WST MxN (4), two situations are analyzed, in which the target for the attack was assigned:

the target was immediately assigned in the chosen tactical technique,

in the chosen tactical technique, the target is assigned already in the process of its execution, or the target is assigned by a pilot with an IEP.

In the first situation, the moment of connection of the block that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the 1x1 DBV (6) for direct 1x1 long-range combat in these configurations coincides with the moment the designated target enters the zone of possible launches (VZP) of the missile of the fighter of the M pair (standard algorithm on any fighter ).

In the second case, a block is immediately connected that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the WBA 1x1 (6).

In block (5), only the conditions for the start of the 1x1 WST are determined, a signal is also sent to it from the IUP (8) (in the case when the pilot himself decided to start the 1x1 WST.)

The block that generates recommendations on problematic substitutions of the 1x1 WST (6) is connected in all the MxN WST configurations through the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 WST (5), and in the 1x1 configuration, the block (6) is connected by the block (1) directly.

Configuration (1x1) DBW MxN, the sign of which is determined in block (1), is determined by the fact of the loss of one aircraft in each pair of opponents. In block (1), according to the absence of the signal “I’m in a pair” in the information received via telecode communication and the disappearance of information about the presence of one aircraft in a pair of the enemy, a sign of this configuration (1x1) DBV MxN is generated, which, together with the coordinates of the enemy, is immediately transmitted to the block , forming recommendations on problematic substitutions of the 1x1 WBV (6).

Block (6) contains the knowledge base of 1x1 long-range air combat between a fighter (I1) and an enemy fighter (I2), in which the following problematic sub-situations are possible:

PrS/S "Occupation by a fighter of a tactically advantageous position" (PRS/S "TVP");

PrS/S "Attack";

PrS / S "Defense with an attack";

PrS / S "Protection".

In block (6), operational recommendations are developed for the pilot on how to solve these PRS/S.

The block knowledge base (6) has two hierarchical levels. At the first hierarchical level of the knowledge base, according to the situational vector (SWV 1x1 - PrS/S), one of the SV/S possible in the SWV 1x1 is activated by production rules.

At the second hierarchical level, the choice of a rational way of solving the activated SP/S is carried out. First of all, at this hierarchical level, the mathematical models of fighters and air-to-air missiles contained in it are parametrically tuned to the functional capabilities of the observed fighters and air-to-air missiles located on the attack trajectory.

In the problem subsituations included in the knowledge base of block (6), a method for solving them is constructed as follows.

PrS / S "Tactically advantageous position (TVP)". This PRS/S occurs when both opponents are outside the VZV of their missiles and there is time on I1 to occupy the TVP with a trajectory maneuver, that is, to take such a position of I1 at the time of launch of their rocket R (I1) in the “altitude-velocity” coordinates (H, V ) to ensure pre-emptive launch of the rocket R(I1) from I1 with a pre-emptive hit in I2. The method for determining the recommended trajectory for the exit of a fighter in the conditions of the TWP is an optimization one.

PrS / S "Attack". Delivering a pre-emptive missile strike against an opposing airborne enemy defending itself by launching missiles, maneuvering and informational interference. The S/S occurs when I2 is in the VZP of the R(I1) missile selected on I1 and the enemy has not yet launched his own missile. When calculating the moment of launching a rocket from I1, a possible retaliatory launch of a rocket R (I2) from a fighter I2 is taken into account, as well as possible anti-missile maneuvers I2 and interference from I2 to information channels I1 and missile guidance channels R (I1). The method for determining the recommended trajectory, the moment of rocket launch and the moments of application of interference cycles is an optimization method (a game task).

PrS/S "Defense with attack". The use of an effective retaliatory missile strike, defensive maneuver and effective information interference in response to an enemy missile launch. PrS/S occurs when I2 has made a pre-emptive launch of the rocket R (I2). The response actions of I1 in the event of possible maneuvering and informational counteraction from I2 are the delayed launch of the rocket R(I1), anti-missile maneuvering, jamming the information channels I2 and the guidance channels of the missile R(I2).

The method for determining the recommended trajectory, the moment of rocket launch and the moments of application of interference cycles is an optimization method (a game task).

PrS / S "Protection". The use of only an anti-missile maneuver and the setting of information interference in response to an enemy missile launch occurs when I2 has made a preemptive launch of the R (I2) missile, and I1 intends to respond only with anti-missile maneuvering and setting information interference.

The method for determining the recommended trajectory for counteracting an attacking enemy fighter and determining the moments for applying jamming cycles is an optimization one.

From each activated PSS/S, the recommended method for its resolution is transmitted through the block (7) to the pilot on the IEP (8). The recommended method is implemented only after the pilot sends a signal of consent to the implementation of all or part of the recommendation, or implements alternative solutions to the recommended ones.

The sign of an activated PRS/S from block (6) enters block (1). A signal containing recommendations to the pilot is transmitted from block (6) to the information preparation block for IEP (7), in which a form for presenting recommendations to the pilot on multifunctional indicators of IEP is constructed. and the launch of voice messages to the pilot about the critical events that have arisen in the DBV МхN.

From the information preparation unit for the IEP (7), information containing recommendations to the pilot is transmitted to the IEP (8). In the IEP (8), the recommendations prepared in block (7) for the pilot are placed in a place convenient for the pilot to perceive in the MFI information frame, which allows the pilot to quickly detect and perceive them. Through the IUE (8), the pilot sends to the block that determines the conditions for the start of the 1x1 WST (5), and to the blocks (2), (3), (4), (6) signals of consent to the implementation of the entire recommendation or part of it, or implements alternative recommended solutions.

Thus, the use on board the aircraft of the intelligent support system for fighter pilots in long-range air combat with a pair of enemy fighters, which makes it possible to generate and transmit recommendations to the information and control IEP of the cockpit, allows you to effectively solve the problems of the MxN airborne combat system for all its configurations that arise during the battle and at any current attack phase (problematic subsituation of the 1x1 WBV) of each fighter from the opposing pairs.
