Abstract:

With the continuous development of new air defense and anti-missile technologies, the entry vehicles face the threats from multi-level, multi-platform, and multi-batch defense systems, leading to a significantly decline in their survival and mission-completion capabilities. Against this backdrop, the maneuvering penetration trajectory planning and guidance of entry vehicles have become one of the major research topics. This paper firstly analyzes the performance advantages and difficult problems of entry penetration. Secondly, it reviews the typical no-fly zone modeling methods encountered during the entry flight process. Starting from four typical penetration patterns, namely passive evasion of no-fly zones, active detouring of defense zones, game confrontation, and coordinated maneuvering penetration of multiple vehicles, this paper summarizes and generalizes the research status of the corresponding maneuvering penetration trajectory planning and guidance methods from multiple perspectives and at multiple levels. The characteristics and limitations of the existing research results are also discussed. Based on this, this paper outlines the challenges and difficulties faced by the development of this type of technology. Finally, combined with the current research progress, challenges faced, and future requirements, this paper analyzes the development trends of the maneuvering penetration trajectory planning and guidance technology for entry vehicles, and preliminarily proposes five future development directions in this research field, aiming to provide new ideas and technical references for the development and research of related technologies.

Key words: entry vehicles, maneuvering penetration, trajectory planning, penetration guidance, no-fly zone, game confrontation, cooperative penetration
