Robust Stochastic Observer-Based Attack-Tolerant Missile Guidance Control Design Under Malicious Actuator and Sensor Attacks

In this study, the robust H-infinity stochastic observer-based attack-tolerant guidance control strategy is designed for the nonlinear stochastic missile guidance control system under the external disturbance and measurement noise as well as actuator attack signal and sensor attack signal. To simplify the attack signal estimation, a novel nonsingular smoothed dynamic model is introduced to efficiently describe the actuator and sensor attack signals. Consequently, the state/attack signal estimation can be easily achieved by using conventional Luenberger observer. Next, to attenuate the effect of external disturbance, measurement noise and approximation errors of attack signal on the missile guidance control system, the robust H-infinity attack-tolerant guidance control performance is considered and the design condition is derived in terms of nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi inequality (HJI) constrained problem. Since HJI cannot be easily solved analytically or numerically, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy modelling method is utilized to facilitate the robust H-infinity attack-tolerant guidance control strategy design. Thereafter, the H-infinity observer-based attack-tolerant control design problem is transformed into linear matrix inequalities problem (LMIP) which can be solved very efficiently by using the convex optimization techniques. Simulation example, with the comparison between the proposed method and conventional robust missile guidance strategy, is given to illustrate the design procedures and validate the performance of the proposed method.
