description This paper investigates three-dimensional pursuit problems in noncooperative stochastic differential games. By introducing a novel polynomial value function capable of addressing high-dimensional dynamic systems, the forward–backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) for optimal strategies are derived. The uniqueness of the value function under bounded control inputs is rigorously established as a theoretical foundation. The proposed methodology constructs optimal closed-loop feedback strategies for both pursuers and evaders, ensuring state convergence and solution uniqueness. Furthermore, the Lebesgue measure of the barrier surface is computed, enabling the design of strategies for scenarios involving multiple pursuers and evaders. To validate its applicability, the method is applied to missile interception games. Simulations confirm that the optimal strategies enable pursuers to consistently intercept evaders under stochastic dynamics, demonstrating the robustness and practical relevance of the approach in pursuit–evasion problems.
