Optimization of Allocation and Launch Conditions of Multiple Missiles for Three-Dimensional Collaborative Interception of Ballistic Targets

Table 1

Average number of missiles and average miss distance obtained by different methods, averaged over random initial conditions of the ballistic target.

	Average number of missiles launched	Average miss distance (m)
Heuristic method 1 missile	1	5020.78 ± 600.21
Heuristic method 2 missiles collaborative	2	490.22 ± 41.08
Heuristic method 3 missiles collaborative	3	60.55 ± 11.2
Optimized noncollaborative	1.05 ± 0.23	320.55 ± 50.77
Optimized collaborative	1.56 ± 0.34	1.43 ± 0.22
