Abstract

The proportional navigation (PN) guidance law is derived for an ideal pursuer with a stationary target, by obtaining an optimal feedback solution minimizing a performance index of the range-weighted control energy. Without any linearization of system equations, the optimal PN with an arbitrary navigation constant is obtained. Thus the exact analyses on optimality of PN based on nonlinear formulation is presented here.
