In the context of informatized combat, fast and accurate identification of the target’s tactical intentions is a crucial prerequisite for seizing superiority and winning the war. Traditional air target intention recognition methods rely on a large amount of prior knowledge and struggle to effectively capture the characteristic information of time-series data, which fails to meet the objectivity and accuracy requirements of modern battlefield decision-making. Considering that tactical maneuvers are the flight actions taken by target aircraft to achieve tactical intentions, the identification of maneuver types can provide important reference information for predicting tactical intentions. In this paper, an air target tactical intention recognition method combined with maneuver identification is proposed. The motion characteristics of the target are analyzed on the basis of a kinematic knowledge model to identify its maneuver motion. The identified maneuver types, as secondary features of the target’s motion state, are jointly modeled with the selected tactical intention features in a temporal network based on the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks to achieve intention classification. The experimental results demonstrate that the recognition accuracy of the tactical intention inference model combined with maneuver identification can reach 95.76%, which outperforms other recent intention recognition methods. The visualized results using the t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding technology satisfy certain interpretability requirements. The proposed method effectively improves the recognition capability of air target tactical intention, which is of great significance for efficient battlefield situation analysis and optimized decision-making.
