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

Authors

Abstract:

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 from the intended target, the IFG tends to have low sensitivity to the target maneuvering seeking to minimize the overall control effort. When the missile gets closer to the target, a second stage is started and IFG law changes tactic by increasing that sensitivity attempting to minimize the miss-distance. A fuzzy-switching point (FSP) controller manages the transition between the two stages. The FSP is optimized based on variety of scenarios some of which are discussed in the paper. The introduced scheme depends on line-of-sight angle rate, closing velocity, and target-missile relative range. The performance of the new IFG law is compared with PNG law and the results show a relative superiority in wide variety of flight conditions.

A Comprehensive Approach to Develop a Continuous Fuzzy Guidance Law for Maneuvering Targets

Based on the idea of Continuous Fuzzy Guidance Law (CFGL), a andldquo;three-phase fuzzy guidanceandrdquo; (TFG) law is proposed for the class of surface to air homing missiles. The current approach enables the guidance law to track a maneuvering target from the beginning of the launch phase up to the terminal one while itdynamically attempts to keep miss-distance, flight time and control effort...

A Modified Proportional Navigation Guidance for Accurate Target Hitting

When a detector sensitive to the target plume IR seeker is used for tracking airborne targets, the seeker tends to follow the target hot point which is a point farther away from the target exhaust and its fuselage. In order to increase the missile effectiveness, it is necessary to modify the guidance law by adding a lead bias command. The resulting guidance is known as target adaptive guidance ...

A Modified Proportional Navigation Guidance for Range Estimation

In this paper, after defining pure proportional navigation guidance in the 3-dimensional state from a new point of view, range estimation for passive homing missiles isexplained. Modeling has been performed by using line of sight coordinates with a particulardefinition. To obtain convergent estimates of those state variables involved particularly inrange channel and unavailable from IR trackers...

Vision-Based Adaptive Guidance Law for Intercepting a Maneuvering Target

This paper introduces an adaptive guidance law for intercepting a maneuvering target using information from an imaging seeker. The relative missile-target kinematics is represented in the line-of-sight (LOS) frame and the image information instead of the relative range is introduced to formulate the interception problem as an adaptive control problem with an unknown control coefficient. Conside...

A Missile Guidance Law Based on Sontag’s Formula to Intercept Maneuvering Targets

In this paper, we propose a nonlinear guidance law for missiles against maneuvering targets. First, we derive the equations of motion described in the line-of-sight reference frame and then we define the equilibrium subspace of the nonlinear system to guarantee target interception within a finite time. Using Sontag’s formula, we derive a nonlinear guidance law that always delivers the state to ...
