A differential evolution tuned optimal guidance law

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a novel improvisation of the optimal guidance law using differential evolution (DE) that compensates the effects of these assumptions and increases the range of validity of OGL, treating the missile-target kinematics as a black box in which nothing is known except the input and the output.

Impact Angle Constrained Suboptimal Terminal Guidance of Interceptors for Air Defence

TL;DR: In this paper, a suboptimal Model Predictive Spread Acceleration Guidance (MPSAG) law is proposed for terminal phase of air defense missiles with impact angle constraint, where the latax demand is purposefully spread over the available time to go ( t go ), which is done by parameterizing it with respect to t go as a straight line and parabola.

A Miss Distance Study for Homing Missiles: Tail vs Canard Control

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative merits of tail versus canard control for homing missiles are discussed from a modeling perspective, and a simple but realistic model is created for each component and the simulation is then used to determine miss distance for deterministic engagements.

Safer UAV Piloting: A Robust Sense-and-Avoid Solution for Remotely Piloted Quadrotor UAVs in Complex Environments

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel nonlinear vehicle control system which takes into account of sensor characteristics, an emergency evaluation policy and a novel optimization-based avoidance control strategy and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated and validated in simulation with multiple moving objects.

TL;DR: In this article, a biased optimal guidance law based on a simplified mathematical model is deduced for interceptors engaging against invasion aircraft, which can achieve specified velocity rendezvous angle as well as zero terminal miss distance.
