Abstract: Aiming at the challenges faced by the operational scheme evaluation of manned/unmanned aerial vehicle cooperative formation in the context of joint air combat in terms of evaluation means, timeliness and resource utilization, this paper proposes an optimal scheme selection method based on exploratory experiments + fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to reduce the dimensionality of the combat experiment space and improve the efficiency of operational planning. Taking the typical scenario of joint air force resistance against enemy naval and air forces as the background, the manned/unmanned aerial vehicle formation scheme is selected as the research object to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
