Research on Area Covering Search Based on Virtual Aiming Points by Multiple Missiles

To improve the unilization ratio of covering search by multiple missiles, a novel search method based on virtual aiming points is proposed. The models of the area covering search method for different number of missiles are presented and meanwhile, a statistical simulation model of the method is presented. The unilization ratio is introduced for comparison and analysis between the traditional parallel search method and the novel. The results showed that, comparing with the parallel search method, the interception probability and the unilization ratio are both obviously improved by conducting the novel method presented in this paper with the same number of missiles.
