Design of finite time cooperative mid-course guidance law for unmanned target drone aircrafts

A cooperative guidance law for target estimation by multiple unmanned aerial vehicles

A new cooperative guidance law is proposed for target estimation of multiple unmamed aerial vehicles (UAVs) without involving numerical computational work. The guidance law derivation is based upon the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) to quantify the amount of target information. For two UAVs, an analytical one-step determinant of FIM is introduced, which sufficiently reflects the trend of previ...

Nonlinear Guidance Law with Finite Time Convergence Considering Control Loop Dynamics

In this paper a new nonlinear guidance law with finite time convergence is proposed. The second order integrated guidance and control loop is formulated considering a first order control loop dynamics. By transforming the state equations to the normal form, a finite time stabilizer feedback linearization technique is proposed to guarantee the finite time convergence of the system states to zero...

variable structure finite time guidance law with autopilot lag

in this paper, the problem of finite time stabilization for guidance system is investigated and a novel nonlinear guidance law against maneuvering targets is proposed based on the principles of parallel navigation. the proposed law is developed using two variable structure control techniques. by applying finite time integral sliding mode and combining it with terminal sliding mode, a new guidan...

Cooperative guidance laws for maneuvering target interceptions

This study addresses the design of cooperative guidance laws for interceptor missiles. A polyhedric bounded-error estimation of the target position is employed, based only on the assumption that the target acceleration and measurement noise remain within known bounds. This prediction of the maneuvering target trajectory is then incorporated into a model predictive control scheme to derive the m...
