摘要

This paper considers the terminal guidance problem of missiles intercepting maneuvering targets with impact angle constraints. Based on an advanced nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control scheme and adaptive control, an adaptive nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode guidance law is proposed in the presence of the target acceleration as an unknown bounded external disturbance. In the design procedure, an adaptive law is presented to estimate the unknown upper bound of the external disturbance. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed guidance law can guarantee the finite-time convergence in both the reaching phase and the sliding phase by applying a Lyapunov-based approach. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law. Although the proposed guidance law is developed for the constant speed missiles, by the extensive numerical simulations with a realistic missile model, the performance is shown to be equally good for the varying speed missiles.
