Aircraft control device, aircraft, and method for controlling aircraft

摘要

An aircraft control device determines, on the basis of relative positional relations between an individual aircraft and a target aircraft, a role of the individual aircraft with respect to the target aircraft, and a trajectory of the individual aircraft based on control operations determined according to the role of the individual aircraft. As an example, the aircraft control device represents the role of the individual aircraft with respect to the target aircraft as a numerical value and changes the role of the individual aircraft a plurality of times by changing the numerical value. Every time the role of the individual aircraft is changed, a minimum distance to target is calculated for the individual aircraft, and the role of the individual aircraft having the largest minimum distance to target is determined as the role of the individual aircraft.

1. An aircraft control device which obtains roles of a plurality of aircraft in a formation and trajectories of the plurality of aircraft, the aircraft control device comprising:
a processing unit configured to determine, on the basis of relative positional relations between the plurality of aircraft and a target aircraft, a role of an individual one of the plurality of aircraft with respect to the target aircraft, and a trajectory of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft based on control operations determined according to the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft and the trajectory of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft determined by the processing unit to the individual one of the plurality of aircraft, wherein the processing unit is configured to determine the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft by first determination processing, second determination processing, or third determination processing or the processing unit is configured to determine the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft and the trajectory of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft by fourth determination processing, wherein, in the first determination processing, the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft is determined, according to an evaluation value based on an azimuth angle between the individual one of the plurality of aircraft and the target aircraft, wherein, in the second determination processing, one of a plurality of rules, which corresponds to the relative positional relations between the individual one of the plurality of aircraft and the target aircraft is selected from storage configured to store the plurality of rules, which corresponds to the relative positional relations between the individual one of the plurality of aircraft and the target aircraft, and the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft is determined from the one of the plurality of rules, wherein, in the third determination processing, the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft with respect to the target aircraft is represented by a numerical value, the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft is changed a plurality of times by changing the numerical value, an evaluation value indicating superiority of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft with respect to the target aircraft is calculated based on the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft every time the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft is changed, and the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft is determined from the evaluation value, and wherein, in the fourth determination processing, a battle simulation in which a battle between the plurality of aircraft and the target aircraft is simulated is performed every time the roles of the plurality of aircraft with respect to the target aircraft are combined, and the role of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft and the trajectory of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft are determined based on an evaluation value which is obtained from a result of the battle simulation and indicates superiority of the individual one of the plurality of aircraft with respect to the target aircraft.
