New methods in the terminal guidance and control of tactical missiles
Abstract
The functions of major tactical missile subsystems and classical guidance laws are described. Some of the features of modern control and estimation theory are summarized. The major advantages and disadvantages of each technique, both in general and in relationship to short range air-to-air missile applications are presented.
