Cooperative Guidance against Stationary and Non-maneuvering Targets

A cooperative guidance law is proposed for salvo attack of multi-missiles. The proposed guidance law focuses on the stationary target firstly, in which the leader employs the arc guidance to precisely estimate its impact time, while followers utilize the arc-straight-line guidance to attain the consensus of the impact time with the leader. Then, a prediction method for the terminal position of the target is derived to extend the cooperative guidance law to address a non-maneuvering target. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the cooperative guidance law.
