Asymmetric BLOS constraint-involved intelligent integrated guidance and control approach for flight vehicle equipped with strapdown seeker

Abstract

The paper investigates the integrated guidance and control (IGC) issue for flight vehicle equipped with strapdown seeker. Distinguished from the routine flight vehicle in literatures, the equipped strapdown seeker is fixedly connected with the vehicle body and thus asymmetric body line of sight (BLOS) constraint is imposed, which makes the IGC design more challenging. Focusing on the point, an intelligent integrated guidance and control approach is proposed by virtue of two specific mechanisms. The improved explicit reference governor technique is adopted to generate auxiliary reference command to ensure asymmetric BLOS limitation not to be violated. On the other hand, the reinforcement learning-based adaptive dynamic programming algorithm is further integrated to guarantee the fine tracking of the auxiliary reference command. Consequently, the satisfactory miss distance is achieved despite of the asymmetric BLOS constraint and unmatched uncertainties, and the stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed. The numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
