Abstract
Conventional proportional navigation guidance law is not adequate for missiles with a strapdown seeker, because the strapdown seeker cannot measure line-of-sight rate directly. This paper suggests a guidance loop design method, in which the look angle, measured by the strapdown seeker directly, is controlled to deliver a missile to a target. Basically, the look angle control loop is regarded as an attitude control loop. By using the proposed method, it is possible to shape the midcourse trajectory by choosing the reference look angle properly. The look angle control loop can robustly maintain target lock-on against disturbances because the target is always captured in the field of view of the seeker. The performance of the proposed method is verified via 6-DOF simulations of a true short range tactical missile model.
