Abstract

This paper considers the simultaneous attack problem of multiple missiles against a maneuvering target. Different from most of the existing literature in which the simultaneous attack problem is formulated as a consensus problem of missiles’ time-to-go estimates, this paper formulates it as the consensus problem of missiles’ ranges-to-go. Based on this strategy, novel distributed guidance laws are proposed to solve the simultaneous attack problem with the target of unknown maneuverability. Adaptive control method is introduced to estimate the upper bound of the target’s acceleration. The effectiveness of the proposed guidance laws is verified both theoretically and numerically.
