In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy neural network (FNN) controller is proposed for missile guidance. The objective is for one defending missile (DM) to intercept an attacking missile (AM) in air battle scenario. The adaptive FNN controller is adopted to force the DM toward the AM under the existence of disturbance, and a monitoring controller is also designed to reduce the error between FNN contr...

In this literature, a data pre-processing circuit designs and analyses for an infrared image seeker of a subsonic cruise missile are proposed. The flight speed of the missile is 250m/s. Therefore, automatic contrast control and automatic brightness control are usually needed to keep wanted contrast and brightness for best image properties in target recognition and tracking; especially for the m...

The observability of radome aberration estimation with line-of-sight (LOS) angle-only measurement is studied in this paper. When missile seeker can only measure LOS angle of target, target state variables are required to be estimated with this measurement for accurate missile guidance. Since LOS angle measurement contains error, caused by radome attached at missile nose and called radome aberra...

A differential game guidance law for an endoatmospheric interceptor missile steered by aero fins and reaction jets is developed in this paper with bounded controls. For a low-altitude endoatmospheric interceptor, the propellant of the reaction-jet control system (RCS) is restricted by the missile configuration. Considering propellant limits, the effect of the RCS thrust on homing performance is...

A simple PS adaptive integral sliding mode controller is designed for the pitch channel linear model of supersonic missile firstly. In order to improve the performance of the proposed method, two improvements also proposed. Finally, a hybrid PISS adaptive control is formed which contains proportion control, integration control, the sign function adn soft function. Also nurmerical simulations ar...

Dr. James Clay Moltz is Assistant Director and Research Professor at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies of the Monterey Institute of International Studies. He has published widely on Russian Far Eastern and East Asian security issues. The rise of theater ballistic missile capabilities in East Asia—particularly in China and North Korea—has raised fears among the United States, South Korea, ...

Abstract. The anti-missile interception technique of unpowered phase is much importance in the military field, which depends on prediction missile trajectory and establishment model. With rapid development data science field large amounts available observed, there are more powerful data-driven methods proposed recently discovering governing equations complex systems. In this work, we introduce ...

■ The U.S. Air Force is developing the airborne laser (ABL), whose mission is to engage and destroy theater ballistic missiles such as the SCUD while these missiles are in their boost phase. This mission capability requires high-energy laser propagation over long horizontal paths (200 to 300 km) through the upper atmosphere. To be effective in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, the ABL mus...

The National Strategy for Homeland Defense, published by the then U.S. Office of Homeland Security in July 2002, directs all U.S. government agencies to conduct vulnerability analyses of their sensitive systems. This policy applies to Department of Defense systems, including the simulation packages used to design and exercise national missile defense. Many, if not most, of the previous vulnerab...

Dual-band Infrared-based passive Missile Warning Sensors (MWS) are under development at USAF Wright Laboratory and other DoD labs to provide aircraft with cost-effective robust detection and tracking of Infrared Surface-to-Air Missile threats out to their maximum launch ranges. Typically, such sensors are limited by the presence of heavy background clutter, solar glints, and sensor noise which ...
