In order to realize a saturation attack of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the same target, the problem is transformed into one of multiple UAVs hitting the same target simultaneously, and a terminal distributed cooperative guidance law for multiple UAVs based on consistency theory is proposed. First, a new time-to-go estimation method is proposed, which is more accurate than the existing methods when the leading angle is large. Second, a non-singular sliding mode guidance law (NSMG) of impact time control with equivalent control term and switching control term is designed, which still appears to have excellent performance even if the initial leading angle is zero. Then, based on the predicted crack point strategy, the NSMG law is extended to attack maneuvering targets. Finally, adopting hierarchical cooperative guidance architecture, a terminal distributed cooperative guidance law based on consistency theory is designed. Numerical simulation results verify that the terminal distributed cooperative guidance law is not only applicable to different forms of communication topology, but also effective in the case of communication topology switching.

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.

This paper introduces a fast fixed-time guidance law with terminal angle constraint for interception of maneuvering targets, which is based on the structure of singularity-free fast terminal sliding mode and the fixed-time stability theory. Different from the finite-time stability, the fixed-time stability can predefine the maximum stabilization time of system states which is independent on the initial value of system states. Under the proposed guidance law, the guidance system can achieve stabilization within settling time which decides by the parameters of controller. In addition, an adaptive law is proposed which alleviate the chattering of sliding mode and smooths the guidance law. Meanwhile, the proof of the sliding mode manifold and system states fixed-time convergence is given by Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate the performance of the proposed guidance law is satisfying.

Accurate time-to-go estimation with large heading angle error is difficult for homing guidance laws, especially for the impact time control. Considering this, a new cooperative guidance law which requires no time-to-go estimation is investigated. First, the impact time control problem is transformed to the look angle command tracking problem. The look angle command guarantees that the range-to-go error converges to zero asymptotically. Then the proposed guidance law considering the seeker's field-of-view constraint is derived using sliding mode control to track the desired look angle signal. Numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law for one-to-one and many-to-one engagement scenarios.

The problem of impact-time-control guidance (ITCG) for the homing missile with time-varying velocity is addressed. First, a novel ITCG law is proposed based on the integral sliding mode control (ISMC) method. Then, a salvo attack algorithm is designed based on the proposed guidance law. The performances of the conventional ITCG laws strongly depend on the accuracy of the estimated time-to-go (TTG). However, the accurate estimated TTG can be obtained only if the missile velocity is constant. The conventional ITCG laws were designed under the assumption that the missile velocity is constant. The most attractive feature of this work is that the newly proposed ITCG law relaxes the constant velocity assumption, which only needs the variation range of the missile velocity. Finally, the numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
