A Collision Forecast and Coordination Algorithm in Configuration Control of Missile Autonomous Formation

In this paper, a formation collision forecast and coordination algorithm (FCFCA) is proposed to avoid collisions in the configuration control of missile autonomous formation (MAF). First, the conditions are derived to forecast collisions of the MAF. Second, the transition target configuration is designed to coordinate collisions. Third, by minimizing the formation group cost, we obtain the optimal transition vector, which can avoid collisions and guarantee the efficiency, safety, and stability of the MAF. Finally, simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the FCFCA.
