Abstract

An aircraft defense dierential game is analyzed where a Target aircraft and a Defender missile team up to defeat an Attacker missile. Attacker pursues the (slower) Target which evades Attacker with the help of Defender, which is endowed with a non-zero capture radius. Target and Defender cooperate in a way that Defender intercepts Attacker before the latter reaches Target. The payoff functional is the distance between Target and Attacker at the interception time which Attacker strives to minimize and Target/Defender team strives to maximize. The work in this paper generalizes existing results to consider restrictions on aircraft.
