Abstract
An aerial target trajectory generation, guidance and control system has been implemented to emulate evasive maneuvers of modern anti-ship cruise missiles. First, the inner loop tracking design considerations and a sinusoidal trajectory definition are presented. A corridor-based cubic spline approach was then implemented, with horizontal and vertical displacements defined versus time as the independent variable. The spline equations and limitations are shown, and some of the considerations of low altitude maneuvering flight are discussed, including a PC based maneuver layout and verification program developed to support the spline trajectories. Finally, a full threedimensional cubic spline based trajectory scheme is presented, and the choice of independent variable is discussed. Flight results are shown for the sinusoidal, and time and distance referenced cubic spline trajectory definitions.
