Integrated Strapdown Missile Guidance and Control With Field-of-View Constraint and Actuator Saturation

This paper presents an integrated guidance and control (IGC) law for the strapdown homing missile with consideration of the field-of-view (FOV) constraint and actuator saturation. Given that the commonly-required guidance information, such as the inertial line-of-sight (LOS) angle and/or its angular rate, cannot be measured by the strapdown seeker, a detailed IGC model considering the gravity and time-varying missile velocity is first derived based on the only measurable information, the body-LOS (BLOS) angle. Then a novel IGC controller is designed for this model by means of the integral-type Barrier Lyapunov Function (iBLF) based dynamic surface control technique. This IGC controller following the pure tracking principle is capable of forcing the BLOS angle to track the negative angle of attack while satisfying the FOV constraint and actuator saturation in an integrated manner, thereby guaranteeing a precise attack on a stationary ground target. The stability of closed-loop system and the boundedness of constrained BLOS angle are both proved strictly, and the performance of proposed IGC controller is thoroughly testified by method comparisons and Monte-Carlo analysis.
