Popis: Most traditional multi-aircraft flight path optimization methods are oriented toward area coverage, use static optimization models, and face the challenge of model mismatch under complex dynamic environments. Therefore, this study proposes a flight path optimization method for dynamic area coverage based on multi-aircraft radars. First, we introduce an attenuation factor to this method to characterize the actual coverage effect of airborne radar on a dynamic environment, and we take the area coverage rate under the dynamic area coverage background as the optimization function. After integrating the constraints of multi-dimensional flight path control parameters to be optimized, we built a mathematical model for dynamic area coverage flight path optimization based on multi-aircraft radars. Then, the stochastic optimization method is used to solve the flight path optimization problem of dynamic area coverage. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed flight path optimization method can significantly improve the dynamic coverage performance in dynamic areas compared with the search mode using preset flight paths based on multi-aircraft radars. Compared with the traditional flight path optimization method oriented to static environments, the dynamic coverage performance of our proposed method is improved by approximately 6% on average.
