Abstract
A lot of studies to overcome the limitation of flight time have been studied, since the requirement of complicated mission achievement of aircraft including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) has been increased. The fuel limitation could bring about not enough flight time to accomplish missions. For this reason, the rendezvous maneuver is required to accomplish aerial refueling missions. The rendezvous guidance law based on variable pursuit guidance is designed using Lyapunov stability theory in this study. Numerical simulation is performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed rendezvous guidance.
