The interception of high-speed target with an arbitrary maneuvering acceleration causes serious troubles to the guidance and control system design of airborne missile. A novel guidance law based on the classical differential geometry curve theory was proposed not long ago. Although it is believed and numerically demonstrated that this differential geometric guidance law (DGGL) is superior to the classical pure proportional navigation (PPN) in intercepting high-speed targets, its performance has not been thoroughly analyzed. In this paper, using the Lyapunov-like approach, the performance of DGGL against the high-speed target with an arbitrary but upper-bounded maneuvering acceleration is well studied. The upper bounds of the LOS rate and commanded acceleration of DGGL are obtained, and conditions that guarantee the capture of this type of maneuvering target are also presented. The nonlinear relative dynamics between the missile and target is taken into full account. Finally, the proposed theoretical findings are demonstrated by numerical simulation examples.

Abstract An optimal simultaneous kinematic, dynamic and control design approach is proposed for high performance computer controlled machines such as robot manipulators. The approach is based on the Trajectory Pattern Method (TPM) and a fundamentally new design philosophy that such machines in general and ultra-high performance machines in particular must only be designed to perform a class or classes of motions effectively. In the proposed approach, given the structure of the manipulator, its kinematic, dynamic and control parameters are optimized simultaneously with the parameters that describe the selected trajectory pattern. In the example presented in this paper, a weighted sum of the norms of the higher harmonics appearing in the actuating torques and the integral of the position and velocity tracking errors are used to form the optimality criterion. The selected optimality criterion should yield a system that is optimally designed to accurately follow the specified trajectory at high speed. Other objective functions can be readily formulated to synthesize systems for optimal performance. The potentials of the developed method and its implementation for generally defined motion patterns are discussed.

An integrated guidance and control method is investigated for interceptors with impact angle constraint against a high-speed maneuvering target. Firstly, a new control-oriented model with impact angle constraint of the integrated guidance and control system is built in the pitch plane by combining the engagement kinematics and missile dynamics model between the interceptor and target. Secondly, the flight path angle of the target is estimated by extended Kalman filter in order to transform the terminal impact angle constraint into the terminal line-of-sight angle constraint. Thirdly, a nonlinear adaptive sliding mode control law of the integrated guidance and control system is designed in order to directly obtain the rudder deflection command, which eliminates time delay caused by the traditional backstepping control method. Then the Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove the stability of the whole closed-loop integrated guidance and control system. Finally, the simulation results confirm that the integrated guidance and control method proposed in this paper can effectively improve the interception performance of the interceptor to a high-speed maneuvering target.
