Multi-Interceptors Multi-Targets (MIMT) Interception System Simulation

The U.S. Air Force is seeking innovative technologies to provide a simulation tool for multiple interceptors against multiple targets capable of executing random evasive maneuvers. In response AGNC proposes to develop and document innovative and comprehensive Multi-Interceptors Multi-Targets (MIMT) Interception System simulation tools incorporating: (1) Multiple Interceptors Cooperative Control Procedures involving realistic scenarios and models, robust decentralized multi-layer architecture for enhanced fault-tolerance, communications and resource management; (2) efficient computational schemes integrating planning of tasks and trajectories versus real-time demands and optimal solutions; (3) goals evaluation metrics; (4) evasive maneuvers evaluation against flight profiles, miss-distances, flight times, controls and g-load histories; (5) Interceptor Optimal Trajectory Shaping Guidance for Acquisition, Tracking and Endgame Strategy Approach. The Phase I research will result in identification and feasibility verification of the most challenging components. Phase II will culminate in a fully functional working prototype.
