Integrated guidance and control of interceptors with impact angle constraint against a high-speed maneuvering target

Abstract

An integrated guidance and control method is investigated for interceptors with impact angle constraint against a high-speed maneuvering target. Firstly, a new control-oriented model with impact angle constraint of the integrated guidance and control system is built in the pitch plane by combining the engagement kinematics and missile dynamics model between the interceptor and target. Secondly, the flight path angle of the target is estimated by extended Kalman filter in order to transform the terminal impact angle constraint into the terminal line-of-sight angle constraint. Thirdly, a nonlinear adaptive sliding mode control law of the integrated guidance and control system is designed in order to directly obtain the rudder deflection command, which eliminates time delay caused by the traditional backstepping control method. Then the Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove the stability of the whole closed-loop integrated guidance and control system. Finally, the simulation results confirm that the integrated guidance and control method proposed in this paper can effectively improve the interception performance of the interceptor to a high-speed maneuvering target.
