This paper presents the nonstationary nonmaneuvering target interception with all possible desired impact angles in a two-dimensional (2D) aerial engagement scenario, where the target can move in any direction. The paper also considers the field-of-view (FOV) constraint for designing the guidance law so that the target is always visible while following the missile trajectory in the entire engagement time, which makes it feasible for real world applications. The guidance law is based on the pure proportional navigation (PPN) to achieve any impact angle of the entire angular spectrum. The proposed guidance law is then simulated for intercepting a nonstationary nonmaneuvering target using a kinematic model of a missile to demonstrate the efficacy of the presented scheme. A comparison with the related work existing in the literature has also been added to establish the superiority of the present work.

General Guidance

This paper proposes an optimal impact angle control guidance law for homing missiles with a narrow field-of-view of the seekers. As groundwork for designing a guidance law, we first present a general guidance structure that can achieve any terminal constraint of the line-of-sight rate based on the optimal control theory. We configure the desired profile of the line-of-sight rate using a saturation function whose exact form is determined to satisfy the required boundary conditions. By combining the line-of-sight rate profile with the optimal guidance structure, we develop a guidance law that achieves an impact angle interception with the field-of-view constraint. Herein, as the entire guidance structure is derived based on exact kinematics without any approximation, the proposed law ensures the accurate impact angle interception for various engagement scenarios. This precise consideration of the engagement kinematics also accurately ensures the energy optimality of preventing the excessive use of control inputs when homing. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, numerical simulations with various engagement scenarios are conducted, and the results demonstrate that the proposed law allows missiles to accurately intercept their targets with the desired impact angles and without violating the prescribed field-of-view constraint.

The Impact

An impact angle control guidance law is proposed for stationary target interception considering missile's field-of-view limit and speed changes. The proposed impact angle control guidance law is structured as a biased proportional navigation with a time-varying bias. The proposed guidance law does not involve any switching logic for maintaining lock-on; hence, the guidance command is continuous during the entire engagement. Unlike the most existing studies, the proposed method guarantees that the impact angle error converges to zero before interception without the constant-speed assumption. To realize these desirable properties, the positive invariance of the bounded look angle interval and the change of independent variable are utilized. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed guidance law.
