An advanced guidance law is developed against very high-speed targets. Preliminary studies have shown that the aspect angle of the interceptor at lock-on near 180 deg is a fundamental requirement for achieving small miss distance against a very high-speed target. To meet this requirement, a fuzzy guidance law in midcourse phase that is more similar to human decision making is designed. In terminal phase, a proportional and derivative-type fuzzy terminal guidance law is explored. It is shown that the integrated guidance scheme offers a near head-on homing condition before the missile enters terminal phase and provides better nal results (smaller miss distance and wider defensible volume) than the conventional guidance law. A complete simulation study is performed to show the effects of the proposed design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
