Abstract

In this paper, a new guidance law for a short-range air-to-air missile with constant thrust is presented. It is essentially based on the concept of proportional navigation. First, the theoretical guidance law is derived. Then, we show the technique for practical implementation of the guidance law. By a computer simulation, it is shown that the new guidance law gives better performance than the conventional proportional navigation.
