New guidance law controls interceptor impact time and angle

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] · 2026-06-01 20:37

Researchers have developed a novel guidance law for interceptors that simultaneously controls impact time and angle. This approach uses a hierarchical sliding mode architecture to manage the underactuated nonlinear engagement kinematics. The method has been simulated and shown effective for intercepting both stationary and constant velocity targets. AI

Terminal Time and Angle-Constrained Nonlinear Intercept Guidance

This paper considers the problem of simultaneously controlling an interceptor's impact time and impact angle using its lateral acceleration as the sole control input. With a single control input, the nonlinear engagement kinematics is inherently underactuated, which complicates g…
