To enhance the ability of breaking defense, multi-missiles cooperative attack will be used. This paper described co-operative path planning of multi-missiles. The problem undertaken for this study was that of simultaneous arrival or arrival with same interval on target of multi-missiles. The solution was divided into three phases. The first phase was that of producing flyable paths with minimum length, the second was to choose the reference path and calculating the cooperative time for each missile, and the third was to produce paths of equal length or different length with same interval. In the first phase, Dubins paths were used to produce flyable paths with minimum length for each missile, the second phase was to calculate the cooperative time for each missile by choosing the reference path. Finally, in the third phase, paths of equal length or different length with same interval was achieved by manipulate these paths. Some simulation results are given to prove the technique.
