Extended Vector Explicit Guidance for Midcourse with Near-Zero Lateral Acceleration in Exo-atmosphere

Abhijit Bhattacharyya

Abstract


Exo-atmospheric interception of TBMs is usually preferred as the engagement is carried out at a larger distance from the defending territory. The interceptors built for this purpose generally travel a larger distance and altitude to neutralize the target. A guidance philosophy should be such that it shapes the interceptor trajectory in dense atmosphere, so that the desired miss can be achieved with desired direction without much demand in less dense atmosphere. By appropriately modifying the vector explicit guidance and developing it further, an optimal midcourse guidance law is proposed in this paper to ensure terminal impact angle constrained engagement of missiles with near zero lateral acceleration in higher altitude regimes.
