A New Midcourse Guidance Design for Near Space Target Interceptor

Designing a predictive guidance and control system for maneuverable ground moving target tracking in 3D space using a Hexarotor

In this paper, the continuity of tracking a ground moving target using a Hexarotor is considered in the presence of sudden changes in direction, deceptive movements, temporary departure from the field of view (FOV) and changes in the height of the target. In this regard, a hierarchical guidance and control system for target tracking problem in an unknown environment and disturbances is proposed...

A Modified Midcourse Guidance Law Based on Genelarized Collision Course

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 ...

Modified Generalized Explicit Guidance for Midcourse with Near-Zero Lateral Acceleration in Terminal Phase

By appropriately modifying the generalized explicit guidance and developing it further, an optimal midcourse guidance law is proposed in this paper to ensure terminal impact angle constrained engagement of missiles with near-zero lateral acceleration in the terminal phase. This guidance law generates a desired intermediate point in space as well as the desired angles which needs to be achieved ...

Midcourse guidance law with neural networks

A dual neural network ‘adaptive critic approach’ is used in this study to generate midcourse guidance commands for a missile to reach a predicted impact point while maximizing its final velocity. The adaptive critic approach is based on approximate dynamic programming. The first network, called a ‘critic’, network, outputs the Lagrangian multipliers arising in an optimal control formulation whi...
