To realize enemy intention recognition in an uncertain and incomplete air combat information environment, a novel intention recognition method is proposed. After repairing the missing state data of an enemy fighter, the gated recurrent unit (GRU) network, supplemented by the highest frequency method (HFM), is used to predict the future state of enemy fighter. An intention decision tree is constructed to extract the intention classification rules from the incomplete a priori knowledge, where the decision support degree of attributes is introduced to determine the node-splitting sequence according to the information entropy of partitioning (IEP). Subsequently, the enemy fighter intention is recognized based on the established intention decision tree and the predicted state data. Furthermore, a target maneuver tendency function is proposed to screen out the possible deceptive attack intention. The one-to-one air combat simulation shows that the proposed method has advantages in both accuracy and efficiency of state prediction and intention recognition, and is suitable for enemy fighter intention recognition in small air combat situations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e25040671","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,17]],"date-time":"2023-04-17T09:51:41Z","timestamp":1681725101000},"page":"671","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Air Combat Intention Recognition with Incomplete Information Based on Decision Tree and GRU Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7729-5666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingyang","family":"Xia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China"}]},{"given":"Mengqi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies, Hunan University of Technology and Business, Changsha 410205, China"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7931-7219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weiguo","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"853","DOI":"10.14429\/dsj.57.1824","article-title":"Modelling and Simulation of Tactical Team Behaviour","volume":"57","author":"Bisht","year":"2007","journal-title":"Def.
