System to perform fully autonomous flights, with the extra ability to intercept civilian aircrafts

The software is being tested in X-Plane12, which is FAA-certified flight simulation software.

Software architecture

Avionic Control System

Intercepction of airpline by turning radius

Diagram showing two possible paths of interception by turning radius. At this diagram pursuer and target have constant speeds
Pursuer (P) | Target (T)

  • Limitations:
    • The pursuer cannot reverse its direction to intercept a target.
    • The pursuer cannot intercept a target inside its turning-circle.
    • The pursuer may perform at most one complete turn
    • pursuer speed is greater than the target’s speed (may be is not absolutely necesary)
