Adaptive, Integrated Guidance and Control for Missile Interceptors

TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive, integrated guidance and control approach for ballisticmissile interceptors using backstepping control techniques is presented, which is restricted to the pitch-plane, but can be readily extended to all three axes.

Proportional navigation guidance using predictive and time delay control

TL;DR: In this article, a new formulation of the proportional navigation guidance law using the continuous time nonlinear predictive control approach is proposed to estimate the target acceleration using the time delay control (TDC).

Autonomous navigation for the deep impact mission encounter with comet tempel 1

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the Impactor s/c autonomous targeting design and the Flyby s /c autonomous tracking design, including image processing and navigation (trajectory estimation and maneuver computation), and discuss the analysis that led to the current design, the expected system performance as compared to the key mission requirements and the sensitivity to various s/C subsystems and Tempel 1 environmental factors.

Time-to-go Polynomial Guidance with Trajectory Modulation for Observability Enhancement

TL;DR: A new impact angle control guidance law is introduced for a homing missile system equipped with a passive seeker against a stationary or slowly moving target that provides sufficient trajectory modulations, such as oscillatory trajectories, to enhance target observability from angle-only measurements.

Cooperative aircraft defense from an attacking missile

TL;DR: This paper addresses a three-body pursuit-evasion scenario where an Attacker missile using Pure Pursuit guidance pursues a Target aircraft and a Defender missile launched by a wingman aims at intercepting the Attacker before it reaches the aircraft.
