Abstract

Different methods of optimizing terrain following and terrain masking trajectories have been investigated as an extension of earlier reduced order formulations. This paper examines simultaneous control of two aircraft maneuvering in the same terrain section, including cases where the coordinated arrivals at a given target are desired. In all cases, both vehicles are flying at a constant velocity. Two forms of the equations of motion are investigated - a simplified form and a local tangent plane set. In addition, the trajectories are optimized with respect to two different criteria - a minimum time case and a terrain masking case.
