Abstract
A new guidance law considering missile autopilot dynamics is established via integrating a smooth super-twisting algorithm with nonlinear integral sliding mode. In this guidance law, a finite-time disturbance observer is introduced to estimate mismatched and matched disturbances resulting from target maneuvers. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the finite-time stability of the closed-loop guidance system under this law is analyzed using a finite-time bounded function. The super-twisting algorithm guarantees that the proposed guidance law is chattering-free and the disturbance observer does not depend on the prior knowledge of target acceleration. So the proposed guidance law is easy to be implemented in practice. The finite-time convergence and robustness of the proposed guidance law are demonstrated via numerical simulations accounting for missile autopilot dynamics.
