Impact Time and Angle Control Guidance with Field-of-View Constraint

复现了 AIAA Journal of Guidance ,Control and Dynamics 的一篇制导算法的仿真，懒得写说明了直接上论文里的介绍了, 第五节仿真中的图片是我是按照论文里的颜色改成了一样的，结果和论文的基本相同。

1 Introduction

Traditional guidance laws like classical proportional navigation guidance (PNG) usually only focus on zero miss distance. However, with the rapid growth of modern defense system, it cannot meet practical battlefield requirements. The guidance law with constraints is becoming a research hot spot. For example, to handle the close-in weapon system (CIWS) equipped in warships, one effective way is multiple missiles intercepting the target at prescribed time with specific impact angles. In such way, the survivability and warhead lethality of each missile can be greatly enhanced. Furthermore, the seeker on the missile may have field-of-view (FOV) limitation, which can also take FOV constraint into consideration.

2 Problem Formulation

The leading angle, the flight path angle, and the line-of-sight (LOS) angle are marked as σ, γ, and λ, respectively. The terminal LOS angle is marked as λf.

Guidance geometry against a stationary target:

3 IACG

A new kinematic model is given in this section; different from some existing methods, the small-leading-angle assumption is used. Then the optimal impact angle control guidance (OIACG) law is derived, and the corresponding remaining time estimation is given. The characteristics of the proposed method will also be discussed.

3.2 Remaining Time Estimation

4 ITACG-FOV

In this section, an FOV limited impact time and angle control guidance (ITACG) law is derived based on the above IACG. The time constraint is first considered in guidance law design; by setting two boundary conditions on the acceleration command, the FOV constraint will also be satisfied.

4.2 ITACG with FOV Constraint

5 Simulations

Simulations are carried out in this section to verify the effectiveness of ITACG-FOV. Unless otherwise specified, the missile’s initial position is (0,0) m, and the target is located at (10000,0) m. The Runge–Kutta method is used for fixed-step-length integration. The step length is 0.001 s. The missile’s velocity is 250 m/s, and the simulation is terminated when R < 1 m.

5.2 Scenario2

6 Conclusions

An FOV limited time and angle constraint optimal guidance law has been proposed without relying on the model linearization. The PGL consists of two control components to control impact time and angle, the FOV constraint is well satisfied based on a novel control strategy, and the strategy is different from the existing guidance laws with FOV constraint according to the authors’ knowledge. Numerical simulations at different scenarios validate the effectiveness and
robustness of the proposed guidance law under autopilot lags. Furthermore, a comparative study with two representative ITACG laws demonstrates better performance in guidance accuracy and achievable impact angles of the proposed method. Finally, a multimissile salvo attack scenario is presented to achieve a saturation attack on the target, and this can enhance the warhead lethality and survivability of missile to a certain extent. The proposed method can also be applied to unmanned aerial vehicles or other intelligent vehicles to achieve simultaneous arrival with a specific formation.
