Abstract

A class of intelligent cooperative differential game guidance problems is investigated for multiple vehicles and manuvering targets.In particular,a leader-follower high-order nonlinear guidance model is established based on the master-slave cooperative guidance structure,and an intelligent cooperative optimal guidance strategy is developed via differential games.An evaluation neural network is established based on the adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm for self-learning and solving the guidance method online.The stability of the closed-loop system as well as the convergence of evaluation network weights are proved by applying the Lyapunov stability theory and the invariant set principle.Finally,the effectiveness of the method is verified through simulation,where the maximum miss distance and time error of multiple vehicles are less than 0.1m and 0.5s,respectively,demonstrating the accurate cooperative attack on the maneuvering targets.
