“…9 The first aspect converts the guidance design process into a control problem of the firstorder derivatives of angles of the line-of-sight (LOS) between the target and the hypersonic vehicle. Modern control theories such as the feedback control method, 1,9 optimal control method, 10,16 and sliding mode control approach, 2,15,11 have been well employed and verified in the design of the dive guidance scheme of hypersonic vehicles. The second aspect is called the trajectory tracking method, the reference trajectories should be firstly designed, and then the classical perturbation theory is usually adopted to implement the guidance missions.…”
