Abstract

In this paper, a new optimal linear-quadratic guidance law with terminal acceleration constraints is proposed for intercepting maneuvering target. Because the angle of attack is approximately proportional to the normal acceleration for aerodynamic control missile, not only miss distance, but also terminal acceleration is required to converge to zero for increasing effectiveness of the warhead for destroying armored target in the proposed guidance law. The gain characteristic of proposed guidance law is studied by comparing with traditional optimal guidance law with considering autopilot dynamics lags. Numerical simulations are performed to examine performance of the proposed optimal guidance law, and its robustness with respect to the time constant of autopilot dynamic lags is also studied by considering time constant typical errors.
