The paper proposes a two-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under constant velocity and a three-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under time-varying velocity, which can both improve the penetration ability and combat effectiveness of multi-missile systems and adapt to the complex and variable future warfare. First, a more accurate time-to-go estimation method is proposed, and based on which a modified proportional navigational guidance (MPNG) law with impact time constraint is designed in this paper, which is also effective when the initial leading angle is zero. Second, adopting cooperative guidance architecture with centralized coordination, using the MPNG law as the local guidance, and the desired impact time as the coordination variables, a two-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under constant velocity is designed. Finally, a method of solving the expression of velocity is derived, and the analytic function of velocity with respect to time is given, a three-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under time-varying velocity based on desired impact time is designed. Numerical simulation results verify the feasibility and applicability of the methods.
