TL;DR: Consensus of networks with time-delays under switching topologies is proved using common Lyapunov function method using feedback linearization to attain linear guidance law for each missile, which is the base law for cooperative.

TL;DR: A three-dimensional robust nonlinear cooperative guidance law for multiple missiles to simultaneously attack a maneuvering target at desired impact angles is proposed and the fixed-time stability is proved through the Lyapunov theory and bi-homogenous property.

TL;DR: A probabilistic model that can be used to determine the technical performance required for a defense to meet specific political/military objectives is developed and applications for sizing national and theater missile ballistic missile defenses are discussed.
Abstract: This paper develops a probabilistic model that can be used to determine the technical performance required for a defense to meet specific political/military objectives. The defense objective is stated as a certain probability that no warheads leak through the defense. The technical performance is captured by the interceptor single‐shot probability of kill and the warhead detection, tracking, and classification probability. Attacks are characterized by the number of warheads and undiscriminated decoys. Barrage and shoot‐look‐shoot firing modes are examined, with the optimal interceptor allocation derived for the shoot‐look‐shoot mode. Applications of this model for sizing national and theater missile ballistic missile defenses are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the slotline elements (30, 52) are packed with spacing close enough to allow for electronic beam steering without creating grating lobes in the field at the highest frequency of operation.
Abstract: A missile guidance antenna that is conformal to the missile surface, dual-polarized and broadband. Slotline notch array elements (30, 52) are inclined toward boresight for both the E and H-planes. This inclination directs a greater portion of the energy toward the front of the missile. The additional energy directed forward reduces the nullifying effects of the metallic skin on the tangential E-field and enhances the performance of the other polarization. The slotline elements (30, 52) can be packed with spacing close enough to allow for electronic beam steering without creating grating lobes in the field at the highest frequency of operation.

TL;DR: In this article, two nonlinear autopilot design approaches for a tail-controlled high angle of attack air-to-air (A2A) missile are described, which employs a highly nonlinear, time varying pitch plane rigid-body dynamical model of a short range missile.
Abstract: Two nonlinear autopilot design approaches for a tail-controlled high angle of attack air-to-air missile are described. The research employs a highly nonlinear, time varying pitch plane rigid- body dynamical model of a short range missile. Feedback linearization technique together with linear control theory are then used for autopilot design. In order to manage the difficulties associated with "zerodynamics" that arise in tail controlled missiles, two distinct approaches for approximate feedback linearization are advanced. The first approach imposes a time-scale structure in the closed-loop dynamics, while the second technique redefines the output. Performance of these autopilots are illustrated in a nonlinear simulation.
