“…This is necessary and not conservative to realize space-cooperative guidance by the proposed DTEG law. Compared with some extant studies, 4,16,37 where the communication networks being fully or strongly connected are required, Assumption 1 provides a more relaxed condition on the communication topology requirement. For the n missiles subjected to an undirected and circularly connected communication graph G, the objective of this work is to design a distributed cooperative guidance law based on information from communication topology, so that the distributed target-encirclement simultaneous attack of multiple missiles can be realized.…”

“…An alternative countermeasure which can facilitate missile attacker surviving the threats of the defense systems is to conduct a simultaneous attack with multiple missiles coming from different directions. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Obviously, it is difficult to defend against a group of incoming missile attackers cropping up at the same time along different directions, even though the attackers are conventional ones in performance. 1,3 In view of the abovementioned facts, cooperative attack of multiple missiles has been considered as an effective countermeasure to improve missile's penetration probability, and it has been an active and attractive research topic.…”

The target-encirclement guidance problem for many-to-one missile-target engagement scenario is studied, where the missiles evenly distribute on a target-centered circle during the homing guidance. The proposed distributed target-encirclement guidance law can achieve simultaneous attack of multiple missiles in different line-of-sight directions. Firstly, the decentralization protocols of desired line-of-sight angles are constructed based on the information of neighboring missiles. Secondly, a biased proportional navigation guidance law that can arbitrarily designate the impact angle is cited. The missiles can achieve all-aspect attack on the target in an encirclement manner by combining the biased proportional navigation guidance law and dynamic virtual targets strategy. Thirdly, the consensus protocol of simultaneous attack is designed, which can guarantee that all missiles’ time-to-go estimates achieve consensus asymptotically, and the convergence of the closed-loop system is proved strictly via the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, numerical simulation results demonstrate the performance and feasibility of the proposed distributed target-encirclement guidance law in different engagement situations.

“…Multiple tactical missiles can not only realize cooperative attack autonomously but also constitute a predefined time-varying formation-containment geometry while tracking the trajectory of attack missile. In [2], [5], [6], [19], [20], [23], only time or space cooperative guidance problems were considered and there existed no formation or containment process. Secondly, the tracking-leader is free from certain input.…”

“…In [7]- [9], [11]- [13], [15]- [17], the dynamics for each agent were restricted to swarm systems without concrete objects, and the practical application of formation or containment approaches for missiles were not investigated. In [20], [21], [23], the missiles were assumed to be mass points. Because the dynamic characteristics will affect the reaction speed of the tactical missile to the cooperative guidance command dramatically, the results for aircrafts free from the dynamic characteristics cannot be directly applied to salvo attack considering missiles' dynamic characteristics and the cooperative guidance requirement simultaneously.…”

This paper studies the cooperative guidance and control problems with formation-containment tracking requirement under directed topologies for multiple tactical missiles. The states of the formationleaders can not only keep a parallel triangle formation but also make tracks for the state trajectory generated by the tracking-leader, while the states of followers converge to the convex hull formed by those of the formation-leaders. Firstly, an integrated cooperative guidance and control framework is proposed, and combat missions are distinguished in line with tactical missiles rewarded different functions in practical applications. Then, a terminal slide mode guidance law with impact angle is presented in three-dimensional space, which ensures attack missile to attack the target in finite time. Sufficient conditions for multiple tactical missiles to achieve formation-containment tracking are derived. On the basis of Lyapunov theory, it is shown that the expected formation-containment tracking can be realized by reconnaissance and decoy missiles in the presence of the tracking-leaders' unknown control input. In addition, in the case of unknown drag force, the six degrees of freedom missile controller is designed by combining genetic algorithm and disturbance observer to dynamically adjust the rudder deflection and thrust, ensuring stable tracking of overload command during cooperative attack. Finally, numerical simulations validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed results.

SummaryThis paper presents a fixed‐time cooperative guidance law for leader‐following missiles, comprising one leader missile with the target seeker and several seeker‐less follower missiles. The aim is to achieve a simultaneous attack on a maneuvering target at desired impact angles. First, a guidance law with impact angle control for the leader missile against a maneuvering target is proposed based on nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) control algorithm. Then, the design of cooperative guidance law for the follower missiles is composed of two parts: along the follower‐to‐leader line of sight (LOS) direction, the guidance command derived from bi‐homogeneous property is designed to ensure that the follower‐leader ranges keep proportional consensus with the range‐to‐go of the leader missile, thus avoiding the estimation of time‐to‐go (); in the normal follower‐to‐leader LOS direction, considering the relative impact angle constraints which is determined by the leader LOS angle, the guidance command is proposed based on predefined‐time sliding mode control method. What's more, a distributed fixed‐time observer is designed for the follower missiles to compensate for unobtainable leader missile information. The fixed‐time stability of the proposed methods is demonstrated using the Lyapunov theory and bi‐homogeneous property. Finally, simulation results confirm the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed fixed‐time cooperative guidance law with leader‐following strategy.
