Impact Angle Control Guidance for a Moving Target with General Field-of-View Constraints

This paper studies the impact angle control guidance problem with general field-of-view (FOV) constraints for a moving target. Firstly, the control Lyapunov function (CLF) is constructed based on the state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) technique, and a nominal controller is designed to intercept the moving target at the desired impact angle without FOV constraints. The control barrier functions (CBFs) are designed according to the FOV constraints. Secondly, the CLF that guarantees stability is combined with the CBFs that guarantee forward invariance of the constraint sets. The minimum modification framework is used to numerically solve the guidance command through quadratic programming to ensure that the look angle of the missile always remains within the constraint interval during the interception process. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law is verified by numerical examples.
