The problem of impact-time-control guidance (ITCG) for the homing missile with time-varying velocity is addressed. First, a novel ITCG law is proposed based on the integral sliding mode control (ISMC) method. Then, a salvo attack algorithm is designed based on the proposed guidance law. The performances of the conventional ITCG laws strongly depend on the accuracy of the estimated time-to-go (TTG). However, the accurate estimated TTG can be obtained only if the missile velocity is constant. The conventional ITCG laws were designed under the assumption that the missile velocity is constant. The most attractive feature of this work is that the newly proposed ITCG law relaxes the constant velocity assumption, which only needs the variation range of the missile velocity. Finally, the numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The problem of impact time control guidance with field-of-view constraint is addressed based on time-varying sliding mode control. The kinematic conditions that satisfy the impact time control with field-of-view constraint are defined, and then a novel time-varying sliding surface is constructed to achieve the defined conditions. The sliding surface contains two unknown coefficients: one is tuned to achieve the global sliding surface to satisfy the impact time constraint and zero miss distance, and the other is tuned to guarantee the field-of-view constraint. The guidance law is designed to ensure the realization of the global sliding mode. On this basis, the guidance law is modified to a closed-loop structure, and the maximum detection capability of the seeker is utilized to a greater extent. Under the proposed guidance law, neither the small angle assumption nor time-to-go estimation is needed. The guidance command is continuous and converges to 0 at the desired impact time. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed guidance law.

The paper proposes a two-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under constant velocity and a three-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under time-varying velocity, which can both improve the penetration ability and combat effectiveness of multi-missile systems and adapt to the complex and variable future warfare. First, a more accurate time-to-go estimation method is proposed, and based on which a modified proportional navigational guidance (MPNG) law with impact time constraint is designed in this paper, which is also effective when the initial leading angle is zero. Second, adopting cooperative guidance architecture with centralized coordination, using the MPNG law as the local guidance, and the desired impact time as the coordination variables, a two-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under constant velocity is designed. Finally, a method of solving the expression of velocity is derived, and the analytic function of velocity with respect to time is given, a three-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under time-varying velocity based on desired impact time is designed. Numerical simulation results verify the feasibility and applicability of the methods.

Impact time control guidance (ITCG) is an important approach to achieve saturation attack on targets. With the increasing complexity of warfare requirements for missiles, an ITCG with field-of-view (FOV) constrained for antiship missiles is proposed based on equivalent sliding mode control. Firstly, in view of the accuracy of the calculation of remaining impact time for guidance law, the large initial lead angle is taken into consideration in the estimation of remaining flying time in which there is no need for the assumption of small angle approximation. Besides, for the sake of promoting the practical application value of the proposed guidance law, FOV is considered so that it can satisfy the actual working performance of the seeker. Then, combined with the concept of predicted interception point (PIP), the proposed guidance law is applied to attack a moving target. Numerical analysis is carried out for different initial lead angles, various impact time, different methods of estimating remaining flying time, and cooperative attack conditions. Compared with proportion navigation guidance (PNG), the feasibility and effectiveness of the guidance law are verified. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed guidance law can guarantee the constraints of both impact time and FOV effectively.

A guidance problem for impact time and angle control applicable to cooperative attack is considered based on the sliding mode control. In order to satisfy the impact angle constraint, a line-of-sight rate polynomial function is introduced with four tuning parameters. And the time-to-go derivative with respect to a downrange orientation is derived to minimize the impact time error. Then the sliding mode control surface with impact time and angle constraints is constructed using nonlinear engagement dynamics to provide an accurate solution. The proposed guidance law is easily extended to a nonmaneuvering target using the predicted interception point. Numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law for different engagement scenarios.

Accurate time-to-go estimation with large heading angle error is difficult for homing guidance laws, especially for the impact time control. Considering this, a new cooperative guidance law which requires no time-to-go estimation is investigated. First, the impact time control problem is transformed to the look angle command tracking problem. The look angle command guarantees that the range-to-go error converges to zero asymptotically. Then the proposed guidance law considering the seeker's field-of-view constraint is derived using sliding mode control to track the desired look angle signal. Numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law for one-to-one and many-to-one engagement scenarios.

This paper proposes a guidance strategy, which caters to both impact angle and impact time terminal constraints. This guidance scheme is based on switching between impact time and impact angle guidance laws. Unlike the existing impact time guidance laws, the proposed guidance strategy takes into account the curvature of the trajectory due to requirement of impact angle. The guidance law is derived using sliding mode control theory with the switching surface based on impact time error. The interceptor first corrects its course to nullify the impact time error and then aims to achieve interception with desired impact angle. In order to reduce transitions between the two guidance laws, a novel hysteresis loop is introduced in the switching conditions. The guidance law is initially designed for stationary targets, and later it is extended to constant velocity targets using the notion of predicted interception point. In order to validate the efficacy of the proposed guidance strategy, simulation results are presented with constant as well as realistic time-varying speed interceptor models for different engagement scenarios against stationary and constant velocity targets. The performance of the guidance law is evaluated under noisy measurements and the presence of system lag and its performance is compared with other existing guidance laws.
