Distributed Cooperative Guidance for Multivehicle Simultaneous Arrival Without Numerical Singularities

What is it about?

Cooperative guidance of multiple vehicles for simultaneous arrival is an effective way to increase the success rate of, for example, missile-target interception. Although many cooperative guidance laws have been proposed up to now, these guidance laws suffer from some drawbacks such as numerical singularities and two-stage implementation. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed cooperative guidance law. This guidance law has a concise biased-PNG (proportional navigation guidance) expression and overcomes many drawbacks of the existing guidance laws. Comprehensive simulations show that this guidance law works effectively in a wide range of challenging guidance scenarios.
