Algorithms for optimizing the aircraft flight route

Abstract

The study introduces the algorithms for optimizing the flight routes of an aircraft when it is bypassing a stationary dangerous zone, which is considered to be the destruction envelope of the air defense missile system, and when it is intercepting an air target. Optimization of the bypass route involves the procedures for finding a safe corridor and building a bypass route with a minimum length. Optimization of the interception route is based on determining the analytical dependence of the penetration distance of the intercepted target on the averaged values of the altitude-velocity characteristics of each of the route segments, and on finding the conditions for the minimum distance of target penetration into the protected airspace
