COORDINATION STRATEGIES FOR HIERARCHICAL MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM

The subject of this work is planning of the defense of a point target against an air attack. The defense system is decomposed into a number of sectors. Direct method of periodic coordination is used at upper level while sectors use discrete time model for predictive control. The uncertainty is described by multiple scenarios of an attack. Resulting problems are solved by mixed integer linear programming on lower level and complete search or custom heuristics on upper level. Comparison of coordination strategies and analysis of applicability is provided.
