Optimal switching target-assignment based on the integral performance in cooperative tracking

This paper investigates a dynamic target-assignment problem. A close-loop integrated frame for target-assignment is proposed novelly which incorporates the kinematics between flight vehicles and targets. Based on an integral performance index which represents the energy cost, the optimal switching assignmentplan is obtained. Considering the configuration variation introduced by a switching assignment-plan, an H∞ guidance law with switching-target is proposed which underlays a dynamic assignment process in cooperative tracking. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed guidance-law and the switchingplan for target assignment.
