This paper handles synthesis and investigation of a neural network guidance law based on pursuit-evasion games. This work considers two-dimensional pursuit-evasion games solved by using the gradient method. The procedure of developing a guidance law from the game-optimal solutions is deeply examined, and important features of the neural network guidance are investigated. The proposed neural network guidance law takes the range, range rate, line-of-sight rate, and heading error as its input variables. By reconstructing the trajectory, the accuracy of the neural network approximation is verified. Afterwards, robustness of the neural network guidance to the autopilot lag, which results from its feedback structure, is investigated ...

In this paper, an optimal guidance law with terminal angle constraint considering the seeker's lock-on condition, in which the target is located within the field-of-view (FOV) and detection range limits at the end of the midcourse phase, is proposed. The optimal solution is obtained by solving an optimal control problem minimizing the energy cost function weighted by a power of range-to-go subject to the terminal constraints, which can shape the guidance commands and the missile trajectories adjusting guidance gains of the weighting function. The proposed guidance law can be applied to both of the midcourse and terminal phases by setting the desired relative range and look angle to the final interception conditions. The performance of the proposed guidance law is analyzed through nonlinear simulations for various engagement conditions.

We propose a guidance law based on pursuit-evasion game solutions, and analyze its performance. The game solutions are obtained from the pursuit-evasion game solver developed by Tahk. The initial value of the game solution is used for guidance, and then the pursuit-evasion game is solved again at the next time step. In this respect, the proposed guidance laws are similar to the approach of model predictive control. The proposed guidance method is compared with proportional navigation guidance for a pursuit-evasion scenario, in which the evader always tries to maximize the capture time. According to the comparison, it has larger a capture set than ones of proportional navigation guidance law.

This paper presents a spiral descending path and a landing guidance law for net-recovery of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. The net-recovery landing flight is divided into two phases. In the first phase, a spiral descending path is designed from an arbitrary initial position to a final approaching waypoint toward the recovery net. The flight path angle is controlled to be aligned to the approaching direction at the end of the spiral descent. In the second phase, the aircraft is guided from the approaching waypoint to the recovery net using a pseudo pursuit landing guidance law. Six degree-of-freedom simulation is performed to verify the performance of the proposed landing guidance law.

Many formation guidance laws have been proposed for VAV formation flight. Since most autonomous formation flight methods require various active communication links between the vehicles to know motion information of other vehicles, damage to the receiver or the transmitter and communication delay are critical problem to achieve a given formation flight mission. Therefore, in this point of view, the method that does not need an inter-vehicle communication is preferred in the autonomous formation flight. In this paper, we first summarize the formation guidance law without an inter-vehicle communication using feedback linearization and sliding mode control proposed in previous study. We also propose the modified formation guidance law with robust disturbance observer, which can provide significantly better performance than previously mentioned guidance law in case that other vehicles maneuver with large accelerations. The robust disturbance observer can estimate uncertainties generated by acceleration of leader vehicle. By eliminating the uncertainties using the estimated uncertainties, VAVs are able to achieve the tight formation flight. The performance of the proposed approach is validated by numerical simulations.

In this paper, a suboptimal homing guidance law for the homing missiles with an impact angle constraint is presented. Unlike general LQ optimal control, the aided loop ensuring some degrees of freedom for the constraint is introduced. Then an optimal feedback loop in consideration of the aided loop is designed by using Schwartz inequality. The aided loop is synthesized with the optimal control to produce the guidance command. Furthermore, to investigate the characteristics of the guidance law we carry out the comparative studies with other guidance laws. The results of the various computer simulations show the good performance of the proposed law.

In this paper, planar waypoint guidance synthesis for UAVs using the LQ optimal impact-angle-control guidance law is proposed. We prove that the energy-optimal control problem with the constraint of passing through the waypoints is equivalent to the problem of finding the optimal pass angles on each waypoint of the optimal impact-angle-control law. The optimal pass angles can be obtained as a numerical solution of the simple pass angle optimization problem that requires neither input parameterization nor constraints. The trajectory obtained by applying the optimal impact-angle-control law with these optimal pass angles becomes energy optimal.

This paper deals with a ZEM (Zero-Effort-Miss) based guidance law for the interception of moving targets and characteristics of the guidance law according to time-to-go estimation methods. To derive the ZEM vector feedback guidance command, we introduce a polynomial function with unknown coefficient, and then we determine the coefficient to satisfy initial and terminal constraints. Since the directions of the guidance command and ZEM vectors are adjusted by the time-to-go, general time-to-go estimation methods are proposed, which can generate the vertical and horizontal guidance commands with respect to an arbitrary reference frame. By performing various numerical simulations, the performance and characteristics of the proposed methods are investigated.

This paper describes the application of the recently developed feedback linearization technique to designing a new Command to Line-of-Sight (CLOS) guidance law. We show that the CLOS guidance problem can be formulated as a tracking problem. Then, using the feedback input-output linearization technique, we find a new 3dimensional CLOS guidance law that can assure zero miss distance for a randomly maneuvering target. It sheds light on the feedforward acceleration compensation terms used in the conventional CLOS guidance laws to improve the performance. To illustrate further the significance of our result, simulation results are given.

This paper deals with 3-dimensional missile guidance law. This presents the general optimal solution of the state equation which includes the target maneuvering as the Gauss-Markov processing. The main results ore about the transformation between the Cartesian coordinates on which both the guidance law and the filter are bused and the polar coordinates system in real missile guidance and measurement information. And the extended Kalman filter and adjustment of the estimated target acceleration by triangular functions is proposed solution to this transformation problem. It is shown that this proposed transformation is valid in real 3-dimensional guidance problem by the computer simulation.
