Research on the Basic Combat Round Model of Over-The-Horizon Air Combat

The Basic Fight Circle (BFC) refers to the process in which one or both sides completely carry out a missile attack and defense in a fighter medium-range air combat with air-to-air missiles as weapons. A basic combat round usually includes, but is not limited to, the following phases: pointing at the target, locking on the target, launching the missile, implementing guidance, and evading the missile. This model is of great help for understanding the tactical tactics of various maneuvers and formations of fighters, as well as analyzing the real-time situation in the air.
