BVR Gym: A Reinforcement Learning Environment for Beyond-Visual-Range Air Combat

arXiv:2403.17533v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Creating new air combat tactics and discovering novel maneuvers can require numerous hours of expert pilots' time. Additionally, for each different combat scenario, the same strategies may not work since small changes in equipment performance may drastically change the air combat outcome. For this reason, we created a reinforcement learning environment to help investigate potential air combat tactics in the field of beyond-visual-range (BVR) air combat: the BVR Gym. This type of air combat is …
