Optimal Missile Guidance system By Yaron Eshet & Alon Shtakan Supervised by Dr. Mark Mulin
Equations of motion Target Missile
Interception - Overview Parameters: Interception: Necessary condition for interception for all initial conditions: The problem: non-linear and complex relation between the parameters • The solution: • Guidance law in (RTPN) to achieve • b) Guidance law in to complete the interception process
Test case Simple maneuver simulates realistic missile
Test case – Guidance law RTPN: Realistic true proportional navigation Guidance law perpendicular to line of sight (LOS(: compensation of target missile acceleration
Test case – Guidance law distance decrease: has a projection in direction Target LOS Missile
Test Case: equations of motion Initial conditions
Interception time vs. • The influence of depends on the initial conditions difference in interception time of order 0.1 sec difference in interception time of order 10 sec
Interception time vs. • For values under a certain bound, there is no guarantee for interception Interception time diverges for small values of
Interception time vs. • Saturation zone: minor influence of . Critical influence for initial conditions and maneuver interception time ~ 37 sec interception time ~ 200 sec
Analytical analysis Necessary condition for interception for all initial conditions (1) resulting condition (2)
Behavior of with respect to (comparison with theory) =3.85 (interception) =1.51 (interception) =1.49 (interception) =0.9 (miss) Edge of divergence extreme divergence divergence occurs around r0 , as starts varying rapidly
? ensures interception for all initial conditions depends on maneuver The solution: guidance law also in direction
Summery: sufficient conditions for interception K>0 1.5< These conditions ensure interception for all initial conditions and for any target missile maneuver.
Gain Scheduling - K The case: delay in data acquisition about the target missile maneuver limited sensitivity sec 203.73 212.08
Gain Scheduling - The case: adjusting for distance increase/decrease not negligible sec 47.34 49.68
No limit No interception
Transition from failure to successful interception (green plot – previous page) Conclusion: Under realistic constraints, one gets an upper bound for K, which means a lower bound for interception time
Ideal interception vs. interception under constraint (blue vs. red plots) No constraint Conclusion: Interception with no constraint is faster indeed. However, it requires homing missile with higher performance and greater control effort.
Project summery • Analysis of the equations of motion of the system • Introduction of guidance laws and study of their function in ensuring interception • Applying “Gain Scheduling” methods for improved performance • Analysis of the system behavior under realistic constraints and restrictions
