description This paper proposes a trajectory prediction method via the adaptive cost function to address the difficulties in inferring the attack intention and maneuver mode, as well as the accumulation of prediction error during the trajectory prediction of reentry glide vehicles. Firstly, the vehicle guidance task is divided into two distinct categories: conventional guidance and no-fly zone avoidance guidance. A task-matched time-varying parameter prediction model set is then constructed. Secondly, taking into account the maneuverability, guidance intent, and battlefield situation of the vehicle, an adaptive intent cost function adapted to the guidance task is proposed, which avoids the estimation failure problem caused by manually setting cost coefficients in traditional methods. Finally, long-term trajectory prediction of vehicles is achieved using Bayesian theory to infer the attack intent and parametric model with the maximum a posteriori probability. The results of the simulations demonstrate that the proposed prediction method is capable of accurately inferring the vehicle’s attack intention and parameter model, and of effectively reducing the accumulation of prediction errors and the time required for the algorithmic process compared to existing methods.
