Integral barrier Lyapunov function-based fixed-time integrated guidance and control with asymmetric field-of-view angle constraints

Abstract

The missile integrated guidance and control (IGC) problem with seeker’s asymmetric field-of-view (FOV) angle constraints is addressed. In the introduced model, the fin deflections controller is used to drive the body line-of-sight angle rate, which avoids the solving and tracking of aerodynamic angles in traditional IGC method. A novel fixed-time convergence virtual input based on the integral barrier Lyapunov function is designed to ensure the asymmetric FOV angle constraints are never violated. The virtual input is tracked by a new proposed pre-defined fixed time controller with adjustable initial convergence speed. The lumped uncertainty including aerodynamic coefficient and target maneuvering is coped by the fixed-time disturbance observer. It is proved that the closed-loop system states are converged to the bounded region in a fixed-time and the asymmetric FOV angle constraints are satisfied. The 6-degree of freedom flight simulations and comparisons verified the advantages of the proposed algorithm.
