Analytic Approach to Impact Time Guidance with Look Angle Constraint Using Exact Time-to-Go Solution
Publication: Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Volume 37, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper proposes an analytic approach for impact time control guidance laws against stationary targets using biased proportional navigation. The proposed guidance scheme realizes the impact time control in two different ways: the first approach directly uses the exact time-to-go error to satisfy both the impact time control and the field-of-view constraint, while the second approach adopts a look angle tracking law to indirectly control the impact time, with the reference profile of the look angle generated using the exact time-to-go solution. The stability properties of the proposed guidance laws are discussed, and numerical simulations are carried out to evaluate their performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
