Maneuvering decision model to one-on-one air combat based on influence diagram

The methodology of influence diagram and game theory were introduced to the modeling of one-on-one air combat. Two influence diagram models that contain components representing the behavior of the adversary were proposed. The influence diagrams describe the elements of the control decision process, contain a model for the dynamics of an aircraft and take into account the decision maker's preference under conditions of uncertainty. In the first model, the behavior of the adversary is modeled stochastically. In the second model, the adversary's control decision is represented by an explicit decision variable in which case an influence diagram game results. Furthermore, a simulation procedure for solving the combat model approximately was suggested, and simulation results show it is effective.
