Abstract

This article considers the method of developing an evader control strategy in the non-linear differential pursuit-evasion game problem. It is assumed that the pursuer resorts to the most probable control strategy in order to capture the evader and that at each moment the evader knows its own and the enemy’s physical capabilities. This assumption allows to bring the game problem down to the problem of a unilateral evader control, with the condition of reaching a saddle point not obligatory to be fulfilled. The control is realised in the form of synthesis and additionally ensures that the requirements for bringing the evader to a specified area with terminal optimization of certain state variables are satisfied.
