3-D Impact Time and Angle Control Guidance Law Based on Sliding Mode without Speed Control.

In modern warship, coordinated combat strategies require missiles hit targets simultaneously, sometimes even require angle constraints, which is difficult to replicate in three-dimensional (3-D) models. This paper proposes a novel 3-D sliding mode guidance law with multiple constraints. First, the 3-D no-thrust guidance model is derived in the coordinate system with Y -axis upward. Second, a novel guidance strategy is proposed. In pitch direction, a fast nonsingular sliding mode surface algorithm is proposed to satisfy the desired line-of-sight elevation angle. In yaw direction, based on the guidance conditions, a special sliding mode surface is proposed, which can achieve desired line-of-sight azimuth angle and desired impact time when reaching the sliding surface. Finally, simulations and comparisons verify the good performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
