Guidance commands for attitude controlled missiles inevitably take the form of attitude angle commands. On the other hand, many guidance laws compute the accelerations required to achieve their goals. Therefore some integrators must be in use for the attitude controlled missiles to implement the guidance laws. Naturally, the use of the integrator raises the problem of choosing a proper initial value. In this paper, we compute the integrator initial value which minimizes the terminal miss and show that if the total flight time of the mission is long enough, the "optimal" initial value becomes some multiple of the initial heading error or of the given impact angle to the target. We demonstrate the validity of the analysis by showing some linear and nonlinear simulation results.n results.

This paper presents the features of an impact angle constrained open-loop optimal trajectory which is given by a function of initial conditions and optimal guidance gains. Using missile motion described by linearized kinematic equations and a proper form of performance index, an inverse optimal problem is suggested to investigate the gains related to the performance index. The flight trajectory and time-to-go can be shaped in terms of the optimal guidance gains. The results are evaluated by 3-DOF simulation.

This paper proposes a guidance law for missiles with control time constraint. Because the proposed guidance law is based on a time-to-go polynomial, it has a generalized form. Also, acceleration of the proposed law converges to zero at the end of the control time, which reduces the sensitivity to the time-to-go estimation error and can increase the flight stability when the separation of the missile appears. A prediction method of the time-to-go is proposed for implementing the proposed law, and the possibility of application to the midcourse and terminal guidance phases is dealt with for exoatmospheric interception. The characteristics and performance of the proposed law are analyzed throughout various simulations.

In this paper, a guidance law applicable to aircraft automatic landing is proposed and its performance is compared with the conventional ILS-type landing approach. The concept of miss distance, which is commonly used in the missile guidance laws, and Lyapunov stability are effectively combined to obtain the landing guidance law. The new landing guidance law is integrated into the existing controller and is applied to the landing approach and flare phases of landing procedure. Numerical simulation results show that the new landing guidance law is a viable alternative to the conventional strategies that directly control the longitudinal deviation or altitude.

A continuous type side jet controller which has four nozzles with thrust control devices was considered. It is deployed to a missile for high maneuverability and fast controllability in the terminal guidance phase. However, it causes more complex aerodynamic jet interactions between the side jet and the supersonic free stream than does the conventional impulse type side jet with a small single thruster. In this paper, a numerical investigation of the jet interference effects for the missile equipped with a continuous type side jet thruster is presented. A three-dimensional flow field was simulated by using a commercial unstructured-based CFD solver. The numerical simulation method was validated through comparison with wind tunnel test results for the single jet. The method of defining jet direction for this type of side jet control to minimize simulation cases was also introduced. Flow fields investigation and jet interaction effects for various flow conditions, jet pressure ratios and defined jet direction conditions were performed. From the numerical simulation for the continuous type side jet, extensive aerodynamic interference data were obtained to construct an aerodynamic coefficients database for precise missile control.

MIL-STD-1553B communication is globally used in the area of aerospace and defense which require safety and reliability in spite of its low communication speed. As recently increased requirements for high precision and robust guidance ability of missiles, missile sensor equipment needs more data to satisfy those requirements. Therefore, missile systems to adopt MIL-STD-1553B requires higher data transfer and processing capability than those of the current systems. In this paper, we describe the result of analysis and implementation of the existing methods that applied multi-message chain and double buffers to improve the current missile system.

In this paper, an estimation scheme with the IMM algorithm to estimate radome slope and target states is used to reduce the radome induced miss distance effectively in spatial active homing engagements of an anti-air missile. The filter algorithm in conjunction with proportional navigation guidance is tested by a series of simulation runs.

In this paper, a suboptimal homing guidance law for the homing missiles with an impact angle constraint is presented. Unlike general LQ optimal control, the aided loop ensuring some degrees of freedom for the constraint is introduced. Then an optimal feedback loop in consideration of the aided loop is designed by using Schwartz inequality. The aided loop is synthesized with the optimal control to produce the guidance command. Furthermore, to investigate the characteristics of the guidance law we carry out the comparative studies with other guidance laws. The results of the various computer simulations show the good performance of the proposed law.

This paper describes modeling, design and performance test results of infrared thermal image target system which can generate infrared thermal image on aircraft. The system is designed to control image shape and intensity so that the infrared image shape and its emitting intensity are so similar to that of real aircraft. When applying the technique suggested in this paper, the system consumes only small electric power energy about 30(㎾) to generate infrared thermal image which is equivalent to that of real aircraft under full power operation. After verifying performance test, the system developed here has been used as a target for korean potable surface to air missile(KPSAM) at the stage of evaluation test such as target adaptive guidance test and auto-pilot logic test.
