The automatic generation of realistic behavior such as tactical intercepts for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in air combat is a challenging problem. State-of-the-art solutions propose hand-crafted algorithms and heuristics whose performance depends heavily on the initial conditions and specific aerodynamic characteristics of the UAVs involved. This demo shows the ability of domain-independent planners, embedded into simulators, to generate on-line, feed-forward, control signals that steer simulated aircraft as best suits the situation.
