Abstract
The paper considers planar interception engagements against maneuverable targets using a linearized kinematic model with constant velocities. Both the interceptor and the target have bounded controls and first-order linear dynamics. Due to the linearization, the duration of the interception is prescribed. The target dynamics is fixed, but the interceptor has variable structure dynamics, switching from one mode to another once during the engagement. For such engagements the capture zone of a given linear feedback control is constructed. Numerical examples demonstrate that proper change of the interceptor dynamic mode leads to an enlarged capture zone.
