Abstract
This note presents a game-theoretic justification of the homing guidance law called proportional navigation, in which a moving pursuer homes in on a moving target by turning with a rate proportional to the turn rate of the line-of-sight. It also uses optimal control to show that the optimal evasive maneuver must jink, i.e., use a sequence of perfectly timed hard turns to the left and to the right. Throughout the note, the developments are at a level suitable for classroom use.
