Cooperative Guidance Law with Multiple Missiles Against a Maneuvering Target

The problem of simultaneous attack of multiple missiles against a maneuvering target is considered in this paper. In order to improve the operational effectiveness and reduce the communication burden, it is supposed that the missile can communicate with its neighbors. Consider the unknown maneuverability of the target, the cooperative is composed of two components, one is used for time coordination and the other is used for target capture. The uncertain maneuverability of the target is estimated by the aid of extended state observer and compensated in the distributed algorithms. In the end, a numerical example is given to illustrated the effectiveness and superiorities of the proposed method.
