Aiming at intercepting a hypersonic weapon in a hypersonic pursuit-evasion game, this paper presents a fractional calculus guidance algorithm based on a nonlinear proportional and differential guidance law. First, under the premise of without increasing the complexity degree of the guidance system against a hypersonic manoeuvering target, the principle that the differential signal of the line-o...

This paper deals with a neural network guidance law based on pursuit-evasion games, and performance enhancing methods for the neural network guidance. Twodimensional pursuit-evasion games solved by using the gradient method are considered. The neural network guidance law in this work employs the range, range rate, line-of-sight rate, and heading error as its input variables. An additional netwo...

A new technique named as model predictive spread acceleration guidance (MPSAG) is proposed in this paper. It combines nonlinear model predictive control and spread acceleration guidance philosophies. This technique is then used to design a nonlinear suboptimal guidance law for a constant speed missile against stationary target with impact angle constraint. MPSAG technique can be applied to a cl...

Distributed finite-time attitude containment control for multiple rigid bodies is addressed in this paper. When there exist multiple stationary leaders, we propose a model-independent control law to guarantee that the attitudes of the followers converge to the stationary convex hull formed by those of the leaders in finite time by using both the one-hop and two-hop neighbors’ information. We al...

The application of fuzzy logic for the development of guidance laws for homing missiles is presented. Fuzzy logic approximation of the well known proportional navigation guidance law is discussed, followed by the development of a blended guidance law using fuzzy logic. The objective of the latter guidance law is to combine desirable features of three homing guidance laws to enhance the intercep...

A novel composite terminal guidance law with impact angle constraints is proposed for supercavitating torpedoes to intercept maneuvering warships. Based on an adaptive super-twisting algorithm and nonsingular sliding mode (NTSM), the can guarantee finite-time convergence of line-of-sight (LOS) error LOS angular rate error. The new a combination stability theory, control (SMC), tracking differen...

A new three-dimensional nonlinear path-following guidance law is proposed using differential geometry. The guidance law is designed based on the look-ahead angle and the radially shifted distance which gives an additional degree of freedom to generate acceleration command for precise path-following. A modified Frenet-Serret frame is utilized to describe the desired path, and the closest project...
