Optimal phantom track generation for multiple Electronic Combat Air Vehicles

This paper present a cooperative control scheme for electronic attack of multiple electronic combat air vehicles (ECAV). The stealthy ECAVs equipped with electronic counter measures (ECM) can deceive a radar by using range delay deception technique. This make the radar to detect a fake target called Phantom beyond the ECAV location. Phantom track is generated by using sequential location of Phantom. The important feature of generating phantom track is kinematic and dynamic constraints. These constraints restrict the freedom of Phantom. The equation of motion and the constraints of the phantom are driven. The final problem is finding the control inputs to generate phantom track. So the problem can be handled as an optimal control problem with dynamic equation and constrains. Optimal cooperative control problem to deceive radar networks using multiple ECAVs is formulated to and some approaches to solving the technical problems are described.
