Cooperative Guidance Law with Time-Synchronized Stability for Multi-Missile Systems

This paper presents a novel cooperative guidance strategy for multi-missile systems, emphasizing time-synchronized stability to ensure simultaneous target interception. Traditional cooperative guidance methods often rely on time-to-go estimation, which can be susceptible to errors and uncertainties. In contrast, our proposed approach integrates time synchronization directly into the guidance law which direct relative distance between missiles and the target, enhancing robustness and precision. The methodology leverages consensus algorithms and Lyapunov stability theory to achieve synchronized arrival times while maintaining system stability. Numerical simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law, and the simulation results indicate that the proposed approach significantly enhances the synchronization accuracy and overall performance of multi-missile systems, making it a promising solution for complex cooperative missions.
