Application of optimal estimation and control concepts to a bank-to-turn missile
Abstract
The design and evaluation of optimal estimators and optimal control laws for application to bank-to-turn missiles was addressed. Two guidance laws, one based on modern control theory and the other on an augmented form of proportional navigation, were compared to the classical implementation of proportional navigation. The former two control laws require the use of a state estimator. An extended Kalman filter was devised for that purpose. Performance of the three guidance laws was compared on the basis of average miss distance achieved for a number of engagement scenarios.
