Cooperative Interceptor 3v3 (straight-line)

ADVANTAGES2 · dim 18

SolvSRK wins. At the comparison noise level, SolvSRK beats the best baseline by at least 10 percentage points of survival, or by at least 0.05 balanced score when survival is tied. Use SolvSRK for this class of problem. All verdicts →

3-interceptor vs 3-target cooperative PN guidance with deconfliction. Per-vehicle state [x,y,theta] (dim=18). Target maneuver: straight-line. d_miss=2m terminal cutoff. Inter-interceptor repulsive potential at d_safe=50m.

At Clean, best balanced arm is SciPy RK45 · SolvSRK survival 100%, SCD 8.0.

Values are medians across seeds, measured by Resonix Labs on Resonix hardware and not independently verified; nfev and wall are on reference lab hardware (indicative). Under injected noise only SolvSRK and the SciPy arms are run. How we measure accuracy → · Verification status →
