Description
Summary:In this paper, a new fixed-time convergence guidance law is proposed against maneuvering targets in the three-dimensional (3-D) engagement scenario. The fixed-time stability theory is used to zero the line-of-sight (LOS) angle rate, which will ensure the collision course and the impact of the target. It is proven that the convergence of the LOS angle rate can be achieved before the final impact time of the guidance process, regardless of the initial conditions. Furthermore, the convergence rate is merely related to control parameters. In theoretical analysis, the convergence rate and upper bound are compared with that of other laws to show the potential advantages of the proposed guidance law. Finally, simulations are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed guidance law.
