COURSE OVERVIEW

Missile Guidance Training presents both fundamental concepts and practical implementation of parallel navigation. It is dedicated to missile guidance. The guidance law design is considered from the point of view of control theory, i.e., as the design of controls guiding missiles to hit targets. Guidance laws design is considered as the design of controls. The design procedure is presented in the time domain and in the frequency domain. The different approaches, in the time and frequency domain, generate different guidance laws that supplement each other. Proportional navigation is considered also a control problem.

A wider class of guidance laws is obtained based on the Lyapunov approach. The analytical expressions of the guidance law are given for the generalized planar and three-dimensional engagement models for missiles with and without axial controlled acceleration. The Lyapunov-Bellman approach is used to justify the choice of some guidance law parameters.

The problem of the integrated design of guidance and control laws is discussed. The problem of modification of the existing autopilots is presented as a problem of new guidance laws design. Computational aspects of missile guidance are considered. As an example, the application of the theory to the design of the boost-phase interceptors is considered.
