Research on Search Laws of Image Guided Missile

When image guided missile adopts guided search and common search law to search ground targets, under some conditions the movement of image on the monitor screen will be dissymmetrical, which is harmful for shooter to acquire and capture targets. To remove the dissymmetry of the image movement, such common search laws as parallel search law, ＂X＂ style search law, search law of one-dimension visual effect and cone search law are improved and designed again. Simulation results show that the dissymmetry can be removed by adopting all the above four improved search laws, but the search track of improved cone search law has serious transmutation compared with the original search track. The other three improved search laws have little transmutation of the search track, and they all can keep the main characters of the original search law. Study resuits are helpful for image guided missile in adopting guided search to choose appropriate search law.

Kill probability modeling of multi-purpose guided missile against gunship and its application

Aimed at current deficiencies of multi-purpose guided missile kill probability model against gunship, the concept of the important coefficient of vulnerability blade unit is proposed in this paper. Laser fuze actuation model and warhead condition kill probability model of rotor blades are established by Monte Carlo method and kinetics theory with new ideas. Based on limited data, armor thickness of gunship is estimated, and a complete multi-purpose guided missile kill probability mathematical model is established, which provides necessary mathematical tool for the accurate and objective analysis of multi-purpose guided missile kill probability against gunship. Based on the establishment of the model, sensitivity analysis and optimal design of the main factors of multi-purpose guided missile kill probability are conducted, and the results show that the single multi-purpose guided missile lethality performance can be improved significantly by sensitivity analysis and optimization.

Optical flow based guidance system design for semi-strapdown image homing guided missiles

This paper focuses mainly on semi-strapdown image homing guided （SSIHG） system design based on optical flow for a six-degree-of-freedom （6-DOF） axial-symmetric skid-to-turn missile. Three optical flow algorithms suitable for large displacements are introduced and compared. The influence of different displacements on computational accuracy of the three algorithms is analyzed statistically. The total optical flow of the SSIHG missile is obtained using the Scale Invariant Feature Transform （SIFT） algorithm, which is the best among the three for large displacements. After removing the rotational optical flow caused by rotation of the gimbal and missile body from the total optical flow, the remaining translational optical flow is smoothed via Kalman filtering. The circular navigation guidance （CNG） law with impact angle constraint is then obtained utilizing the smoothed translational optical flow and position of the target image. Simulations are carried out under both disturbed and undisturbed conditions, and results indicate the proposed guidance strategy for SSIHG missiles can result in a precise target hit with a desired impact angle without the need for the time-to-go parameter.

Cross Spectral Estimation and Its Application in Missile Systems

A new method based on cross-spectrum estimation for the verification and validation of computer simulation models is expounded in accordance with the characteristics of missile systems. The new method can expose the differences between two time processes in several aspects and can also give quantitative analysis results about the statistical consistence between them. An application to an actual anti-tank missile system simulation is presented and the calculated results confirm the effectiveness of the method. The approach can also be employed to verify the simulation models of other dynamic systems.

Output-feedback based partial integrated missile guidance and control law design

An output-feedback based partial integrated guidance and control (IGC) law for missile interceptor is proposed with the smooth finite time convergence property. Firstly, a novel outputfeedback based smooth sliding mode control is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems in the presence of immeasurable state and disturbance. The finite time convergence property of this control scheme is proved based on the Lyapunov stability and homogeneous principle. Then, the proposed control method is applied to the design of partial IGC law. A kind of scaling methods is also developed to reach the rapid convergence of the system. An important dominance of this control scheme is the smooth characteristic, which may result in chattering free convergence. The simulation results indicate the high precision and smooth elevator deflection of the proposed output feedback base partial IGC law. © 2016 Beijing Institute of Aerospace Information.
