A novel adaptive second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode guidance law design

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of missile attacking ground target in pitch plane, combined with a composite fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode, a new adaptive finite-time stable guidance law with attack angle constraint is designed based on the second-order sliding mode control. The improved extended state observer is used to estimate the uncertainties and compensate the control quantity, and the dynamic control gains are designed to avoid the problem about “excessive estimation” of the parameter upper limit. According to the Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the system states can converge into a small neighborhood near the equilibrium point in a finite time. Monte Carlo simulation is carried out by randomly generating initial conditions, which proves that the guidance law has strong adaptability to different initial conditions and has good guidance precision.
