Abstract:

Since the grenade flight trajectory presents the characteristics of complexity, temporal variability and sudden change, it brings great challenges to the close-range air-defense interception system. Aiming at the current problem that the spatio-temporal features of trajectory data are hardly captured and only a small number of steps can be predicted, a trajectory multi-step-ahead prediction model based on 1-dimension convolutional neural network-long short-term memory-attention (1D CNN-LSTM-ATT) with the introduction of self-attention mechanism is proposed. The proposed model is compared and analyzed with CNN-LSTM and LSTM models in single-step and multi-step predictions, respectively, and realizes a high-precision real-time multi-step-ahead prediction of target trajectory from T moment to any T+K future moments. The study shows that the evaluation indexes of the 1D CNN-LSTM-ATT model are significantly better than those of the other two models for both single-step and multi-step prediction; the cumulative prediction error of 500 steps (i.e., 10s) of the 1D CNN-LSTM-ATT model is 82.83m in the direction of range, 11.68m in the direction of altitude, and 0.07m in the direction of transverse deviation, which provides an important guarantee of timely response to the implementation of the projectile interception. This provides an important guarantee for the timely response to the implementation of projectile interception.
