Optimal Look-Angle Guidance with Field-of-View and Impact Angle Constraints for Strapdown Munition

A strapdown seeker with limited field-of-view (FOV) can simplify and decrease cost of the guidance system for a munition. However, the inherent defect of the strapdown seeker is that it could not provide the necessary line-of-sight (LOS) angular information for typical guidance application. This pap...

Description
Summary:A strapdown seeker with limited field-of-view (FOV) can simplify and decrease cost of the guidance system for a munition. However, the inherent defect of the strapdown seeker is that it could not provide the necessary line-of-sight (LOS) angular information for typical guidance application. This paper proposed an optimal look-angle guidance law (OLAGL) which directly utilized seeker angle information and satisfies the constraints of FOV and terminal impact angle. The coefficient determination, effects of switching threshold, and gains for the guidance law are analyzed and detailed. The simulation results compared with typical trajectory shaping guidance for a ground target show that the presented guidance law can satisfy the impact angle constraint under the limitation of FOV and provide a well engineering reference.
