This article proposes an impact-time-control guidance law that can keep a non-maneuvering moving target in the seeker’s field of view (FOV). For a moving target, the missile calculates a predicted intercept point (PIP), designates the PIP as a new virtual stationary target, and flies to the PIP at the desired impact time. The main contribution of the article is that the guidance law is designed to always lock onto the moving target by adjusting the guidance gain. The guidance law for the purpose is based on the backstepping control technique and designed to regulate the defined impact time error. In this procedure, the desired look angle, which is a virtual control, is designed not to violate the FOV limit, and the actual look angle of the missile is kept within the FOV by tracking the desired look angle. To validate the performance of the guidance law, numerical simulation is conducted with different impact times. The result shows that the proposed guidance law intercepts the moving target at the desired impact time maintaining the target lock-on condition.

When the target is tracked based on the current traditional reference point guidance method by standoff mode, if the angle between the relative speed of the UAV and the target and the tangential direction of the corresponding point on the circular expected flight path of UAV is close to 90 degrees, and UAV is close to the desired path, the efficiency of the UAV converging to the circular desired path is not high enough. In this paper, the small angle hypothesis for reference point guidance method tracking desired circular path is studied. According to this, we designed a maneuvering entry guiding strategy for UAV standoff tracking fixed/moving target based on reference point guidance method. Simulation results show effectiveness of the guidance strategy. UAV might quickly converge to the circular desired path.

ABSTRACTA composite guidance law is proposed for intercepting moving target while strictly satisfying the constraints on multiple No-Fly Zones (NFZs) distributed arbitrarily. The research has two major steps. In the first step, by considering only one NFZ, a guidance law is developed with three parts: Orientation Adjustment Scheme (OAS), Boundary-Constraint Handling Scheme (BCHS), and Proportional Navigation (PN). OAS determines the major flight direction by predicting the collision point of the missile and target. BCHS controls the missile to approach and then fly along the boundary of the NFZ smoothly so as to bypass the NFZ through a short path. PN is used to intercept the target in the endgame phase. In the second step, we use the multi-step decision process to set up a series of appropriate waypoints in order to avoid multiple NFZs. The superior performance of the proposed guidance law has been demonstrated by trajectory simulations.
