A Distributed Cooperative Tracking Algorithm for the Interception of Small Patrol UAVs

In this paper, a distributed cooperative tracking algorithm is proposed for the small patrol UA V target tracking problem. By setting up a sensor network to realize the communication between missile clusters, we introduce a weighted information fusion and distribution method for multiple sensor nodes. Meanwhile, a trajectory shaping guidance law is derived for the three-dimensional space maneuver target striking problem. In the scenario of multi-missile UA V target interception, the simulation of multi-missile tracking and the striking process is completed to achieve accurate estimation of target position, velocity, and acceleration. The effectiveness and superiority of this cooperative tracking algorithm are verified through extensive simulations and comparisons.
