Robust finite-time guidance against maneuverable targets with unpredictable evasive strategies

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...

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...

Integrated fuzzy guidance law for high maneuvering targets based on proportional navigation guidance

An integrated fuzzy guidance (IFG) law for a surface to air homing missile is introduced. The introduced approach is a modification of the well-known proportional navigation guidance (PNG) law. The IFG law enables the missile to approach a high maneuvering target while trying to minimize control effort as well as miss-distance in a two-stage flight. In the first stage, while the missile is far ...

Visibility-Based Strategies for Tracking and Searching Unpredictable Coherent Targets Among Known Obstacles

There are many scenarios in the real world and virtual world where it is necessary to find and track groups of coherent targets, whether they are groups of people, swarms of robots, or players in a video game. In such scenarios, some information about the environment may be available, but trajectories of the targets are usually not known in advance. This paper shows that finding unknown coheren...
