Based on minimizing the enclosed area around the target of multi-attackers, two novel guidance laws are created to address the issue of cooperative encirclement and simultaneous attack. The only requirement for the multi-attacker communication network is that it should contain a directed spanning tree, and does not require all attackers to observe the target information, where at least one can observe the target. To reduce the remaining relative distances between the target and attackers simultaneously, and to make the overload in direction perpendicular to the line of sight converge to zero, the multiple-attackers-single-target problem is effectively solved and can avoid collisions among attackers as well as difficulties in estimation of remaining time. Simulation results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed guidance laws.

To solve the problem of cooperative encirclement and simultaneous attack of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles, variational method and Hamiltonian optimization are utilized to design an optimal attack trajectory of multiple attackers pursuing a single target that has fixed initial relative state, fixed final relative state and fixed duration of the attack under condition that the acceleration of the target being estimable. When terminal relative state and attack duration are unknown, online calculation algorithm is used to compute a chain of key intermediate points to create the guidance law and ensure successful deliverance of multiple attackers’ simultaneous attack of the target. The only requirement for the multi-attacker communication network is that it contains a directed spanning tree. The guidance laws can function properly as long as one or more attacker can observe the target. The novel guidance laws practicability are verified by simulation results.

A new three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear guidance law is proposed and developed for bank-to-turn (BTT) with motion coupling. First of all, the 3D guidance model is established. In detail, the line-of-sight (LOS) rate model is established with the vector description method, and the kinematics model is divided into three terms of pitching, swerving and coupling, then by using the twist-based method, the LOS direction changing model is built for designing the guidance law with terminal angular constraints. Secondly, the 3D guidance laws are designed with Lyapunov theory, corresponding to no terminal constraints and terminal constraints, respectively. And finally, the simulation results show that the proposed guidance law can effectively satisfy the guidance precision requirements of BTT missile.

In wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, an analysis of the node energy consumption distribution shows that the largest part is due to the time spent in the idle state. This result is at the origin of SERENA, an algorithm to SchEdule RoutEr Nodes Activity. SERENA allows router nodes to sleep, while ensuring end-to-end communication in the wireless network. It is a localized and decentralized algorithm assigning time slots to nodes. Any node stays awake only during its slot and the slots assigned to its neighbors, it sleeps the remaining time. Simulation results show that SERENA enables us to maximize network lifetime while increasing the number of user messages delivered. SERENA is based on a two-hop coloring algorithm, whose complexity in terms of colors and rounds is evaluated. We then quantify the slot reuse. Finally, we show how SERENA improves the node energy consumption distribution and maximizes the energy efficiency of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. We compare SERENA with classical TDMA and optimized variants such as USAP in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks.

Line-of-sight rate is the key parameter that enables inertial stabilized platforms to implement guidance laws successfully for target tracking or attacking. It is always obtained by experiments. In this article, a theoretical model of the line-of-sight rate is established for the first time, starting with the gimbal motion. The strategy to acquire line-of-sight rate is based on the servo control circuit. The measurement equations for line-of-sight rate are derived using a coordinate transformation. An error model is then obtained with the help of differentiation. The error of an inertial stabilized platform prototype is measured, showing that the line-of-sight rate error can be predicted accurately. Finally, a high-precision inertial stabilized platform is successfully designed and analyzed, with the accuracy of 0.06°/s and 0.37°/s when line-of-sight rates are set to 1.5°/s and 9°/s, respectively.

This paper designs new guidance laws for the simultaneous multi-agent interception of a maneuvering target with unknown acceleration. The new approach achieves additional benefits as follows. (1) The completely distributed cooperation protocol ensures that the simultaneous attack task can be completed. (2) The disturbance observer and the adaptive control law can solve the coordinated attack problem with an unknown target acceleration. (3) The design of the guidance law requires only neighbor-derived information rather than global information, which increases the practicability of the new strategy. Numerical simulations with comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

The true proportional navigation guidance law, the augmented proportional navigation guidance law, or the adaptive sliding-mode guidance law, is designed based on the planar target-to-missile relative motion dynamics. By a proper construction of a nonlinear Lyapunov function for the line-of-sight angular rates in the three-dimensional guidance dynamics, it is shown that the three guidance laws mentioned above are able to ensure the asymptotic convergence of the angular rates as they are directly applied to the three-dimensional guidance environment. Furthermore, considering the missile autopilot dynamics as a first-order lag, we design three-dimensional nonlinear guidance laws by using the backstepping technique for three cases: (1) the target does not maneuver; (2) the information of target acceleration can be acquired; and (3) the target acceleration is not available but its bound is known a priori. In the first step of the backstepping design of the control law, there is no need to cancel the nonlinear coupling terms in the three-dimensional guidance dynamics in such way that the final expressions of the proposed guidance laws are significantly simplified. Thus, the proposed nonlinear Lyapunov function for the line-of-sight angular rates is a generalized function for designing three-dimensional guidance laws. Simulation results of a missile interception mission show that the proposed guidance laws are highly effective.

Several conditions affect the performance of guidance law like target parameters or delayed line of sight rate. A variable navigation ratio is used to enhance the performance of guidance law. In this paper a Genetic Algorithm is used to formulate different forms of variable gains and measure the miss distance. An optimization process is running to find the minimum miss distance. The average values and standard deviation of miss distance for all genetic algorithm individuals are calculated to measure the performance and robustness of guidance law. Two guidance laws are considered proportional navigation (PN) and differential geometry (DG). The simulation results show that the proportional navigation is superior to differential geometry performance in the presence of delayed line of sight rate.
