Research for Space Interception Simulation under Nonlinear Time-Varied Similarity

Abstract

A nonlinear time-varied similarity(NTVS) simulation algorithm is proposed to solve the problem that the process of space interception is intractable to simulate with high precision in limited platform under the linear constant similarity(LCS). Firstly, the similarity criterions based on the dimensional analysis are given in the simulation of the interception motion at high-speed, and the disadvantage of LCS is analyzed. Then, the reference motion is introduced to establish a time-varied spatio-temporal transform system which scale factors are self-adaptive with time, and the method is proved to satisfy the similarity consistency. Finally the way that linear separation and independent mapping solve the problem that the large magnitude uniform motion in approaching directions and small magnitude overload motion in lateral directions are simulated in a limited ground platform. The results show that the NTVS can simulate the whole process of interception and perform better in accuracy comparing with that via LCS.
