Abstract: Several time-sensitive multi-missile cooperative tasks are introduced and discussed within the framework of collective intelligence technique, and the relationship between these cooperative tasks and formation control as well as the diculties of time-sensitive coordination control problems are analyzed. Then, some recent research advances on specified-time multi-missile attacks, multi-missile cooperative simultaneous attacks, and multi-missile cooperative interception against maneuvering targets are respectively surveyed. At last, some common research issues concerning distributed coordination control in multi-missile cooperative attack and defense are discussed and some future research topics are presented.
