Impact-Time-Control Guidance Law for Missile with Time-Varying Velocity

الملخص EN

The problem of impact-time-control guidance (ITCG) for the homing missile with time-varying velocity is addressed.

First, a novel ITCG law is proposed based on the integral sliding mode control (ISMC) method.

Then, a salvo attack algorithm is designed based on the proposed guidance law.

The performances of the conventional ITCG laws strongly depend on the accuracy of the estimated time-to-go (TTG).

However, the accurate estimated TTG can be obtained only if the missile velocity is constant.

The conventional ITCG laws were designed under the assumption that the missile velocity is constant.

The most attractive feature of this work is that the newly proposed ITCG law relaxes the constant velocity assumption, which only needs the variation range of the missile velocity.

Finally, the numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
