A New Path Planning Guidance Law For Improved Impact Time Control of Missiles and Precision Munitions

Date Issued:: 2016
Abstract/Description:: A new missile guidance law is proposed for the control of impact time which provides an improved time-to-go calculation by removing error due to trajectory curvature and also provides a family of trajectories for trajectory planning purposes. Unlike conventional optimal guidance laws, the proposed law is non explicit in time-to-go and the linearization of the engagement kinematics in order to gain a closed form solution is not necessary.
