Consensus-Based Two-Stage Salvo Attack Guidance

The problem of salvo attack of multiple missiles without time-to-go estimation has been addressed by a two-stage guidance scheme in this correspondence. In the first stage, a simple decentralized control law is designed to provide desired initial conditions (target-missile relative range and velocity lead angle) for the latter stage. As for the second stage, all missiles are governed by classical pure proportional navigation guidance law. Numerical simulations under two-dimensional (2-D) and 3-D cases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed formulation.
