The performance of TPN against nonmaneuvering target or the maneuvering target with a specific acceleration had been analyzed before. However, the obtained results are not suitable for the realistic exoatmospheric interception scenario,since the target may maneuver along an arbitrary direction with an arbitrary but upper-bounded acceleration in the threedimensional(3 D) space, which is the so-called "true-arbitrarily maneuvering target" in this paper. With the help of the line-ofsight(LOS) rotation coordinate system, the performance of 3 D TPN against the true-arbitrarily maneuvering target is thoroughly analyzed using the Lyapunov-like approach. The upper-bound of the 3 D LOS rate is obtained, and so is that of the commanded acceleration of 3 D TPN. After that, the capture region of 3 D TPN is presented on the initial relative velocity plane. The nonlinear3 D relative kinematics between the interceptor and the target is taken into full account. Finally, the new theoretical findings are demonstrated by numerical simulations.展开更多

Firstly, in order to describe the special guidance requirements, the concept of zero effort miss vector is proposed and the dangerous area where there exists collision risk for safety consideration is defined. Secondly, the BPNG, which decouples the range control and direc- tion control, is designed in the line-of-sight (LOS) rotation coordinate system. The theoretical anal- ysis proves that BPNG meets guidance requirements quite well. Thirdly, for the consideration of fuel consumption, the optimal biased proportional navigation guidance (OBPNG) law is derived by solving the Schwartz inequality. Finally, simulation results show that BPNG is effective for the close approach with the ability of evading the dangerous area and OBPNG consumes less fuel compared with BPNG.展开更多

The closed-form solution of two- dimensional ideal proportional navigation was conducted in previous public literature, whereas the practical interception happens in the three-dimensional space. A novel set of relative dynamic equations is adopted in this paper, which is with the advantage of decoupling relative motion in the instantaneous rotation plane of the line of sight from the rotation of this plane. The dimension-reduced IPN is constructed in this instantaneous plane, which functions as a three-dimensional guidance law. The trajectory features of dimension-reduced IPN are explored, and the capture regions of dimension-reduced IPN with limited acceleration against nonmaneuvering and maneuvering targets are analyzed by using phase plane method. It is proved that the capture capability of IPN is much stronger than true proportional navigation (TPN), no matter the target maneuvers or not. Finally, simulation results indicate that IPN is more effective than TPN in exoatmospheric interception scenarios.展开更多
