US12560416 - Method and device for providing engagement information based on occurrence of non-linear maneuver of aircraft, and storage medium storing instructions to perform method for providing engagement information

This patent describes a method for providing engagement information for aircraft by utilizing radar detection and a pre-trained neural network to assess non-linear maneuvers, such as pull-up actions. It includes predicting the aircraft’s impact point and generating an engagement strategy that displays an intercept point, taking into account various factors like altitude and range of interception systems.

Claim 1

1 . A method for providing engagement information performed by an engagement information providing apparatus including an input/output interface and a communication interface, the method comprising: obtaining detection information related to an aircraft detected by radar via the communication interface; obtaining preliminary information including information on enemy units, friendly units, and friendly facilities via the communication interface; determining whether the aircraft is performing non-linear maneuver including pull up maneuver from the detection information and the preliminary information using a pre-trained neural network; predicting an impact point of the aircraft based on whether the non-linear maneuver of the aircraft are performed; and generating an engagement strategy for the aircraft to display an intercept point based on the impact point, wherein the engagement strategy includes at least one of an altitude of the aircraft, a range of an interception system, or an availability of the interception system, wherein the determining comprises, in response to the aircraft performing non-linear maneuver, predicting a timing of the non-linear maneuver based on location information of a target aimed at by the aircraft, wherein the location information of the target is obtained via the communication interface, and wherein the generating comprises: predicting the intercept point in a glide section of the aircraft based on the predicted timing of the non-linear maneuver, wherein the intercept point varies depending on the predicted timing of the non-linear maneuver; and displaying the predicted intercept point in the glide section of the aircraft via the input/output interface. obtaining detection information related to an aircraft detected by radar via the communication interface; obtaining preliminary information including information on enemy units, friendly units, and friendly facilities via the communication interface; determining whether the aircraft is performing non-linear maneuver including pull up maneuver from the detection information and the preliminary information using a pre-trained neural network; predicting an impact point of the aircraft based on whether the non-linear maneuver of the aircraft are performed; and generating an engagement strategy for the aircraft to display an intercept point based on the impact point, wherein the engagement strategy includes at least one of an altitude of the aircraft, a range of an interception system, or an availability of the interception system, wherein the determining comprises, in response to the aircraft performing non-linear maneuver, predicting a timing of the non-linear maneuver based on location information of a target aimed at by the aircraft, wherein the location information of the target is obtained via the communication interface, and wherein the generating comprises: predicting the intercept point in a glide section of the aircraft based on the predicted timing of the non-linear maneuver, wherein the intercept point varies depending on the predicted timing of the non-linear maneuver; and displaying the predicted intercept point in the glide section of the aircraft via the input/output interface.
