Analytical Method for Solution of the Game Problem of Soft Landing for Moving Objects

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

A game problem of pursuit of a controlled object moving in a horizontal plane, by another object, moving in a three-dimensional space, is treated. The dynamics of the players models motion in a medium characterized by friction. Initial phase states are described, and sufficient conditions on parameters of a conflict-controlled object are derived, for which the soft landing may be performed.
