USING DATA MINING METHOD FOR ANALYZING OTS CAPTURE ZONE

After Over the Shoulder (OTS) fire control principle had been validated and simulated a few years ago [2,3,4,5,6], an issue that needs to be addressed is how to deal with simulation data, so as to explore the underlying mechanism of the OTS process. Data mining (DM) [1] is an effective and systematical approach for discovering knowledge from a vast amount of data. In this paper, the DM method is used to extract knowledge from a set of data of capture zone for an OTS process. By using this method, the knowledge about the OTS capture zone can be discovered. It is found that the most important factors that affect the OTS capture zone are that forward radar of a fighter can not track its own OTS missile and rear radar of a fighter can not get any information about its rear target.
