TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of extended linearization (also known as state-dependent coefficient parameterization) is examined for statedependent nonlinear formulation of the vehicle dynamics in a novel and very general form for the development of a generic and practical autopilot design approach for missile flight control systems.

27 Apr 1977TL;DR: In this article, a recirculating delay unit is used to superimpose the first pulse on the second pulse, such that while the pulses add coherently, noise does not add in phase.
Abstract: Pulse integration is utilized on board an optically guided missile or other ordinance device used as a part of a target designation system for extending the lock-on range of the missile by approximately 18%, when a double pulse laser is utilized to illuminate and designate the target. Pulse integration is accomplished with a recirculating delay unit which superimposes the first pulse on the second pulse, such that while the pulses add coherently, noise does not add in phase. The pulse integration technique therefore enhances the signal-to-noise ratio when the missile is at the outer limits of its operating range. When the missile is sufficiently close to the target, doublet decoding is actuated to offer countermeasure resistance. At this point, pulse integration may proceed in lieu of doublet decoding or may be dispensed with in view of the increased signal-to-noise ratio due to the close range of the missile to the target.

TL;DR: In this article, a cooperative guidance strategy was proposed to make multiple missiles' joint reachable sets cover the target evasion region, where the assumed engagement scenario is that multiple missiles separate with each other at the beginning of homing phase and then cooperatively intercept the highly maneuvering target which cannot be intercepted by single missile due to insufficient maneuverability.
