Clos Guidance For Bank–To–Turn Missile

Abstract

Bank – to – turn (BTT) control is used to implement a command – to – line – of – sight (CLOS) guidance law. Physical description of the principles involved is given and a 10.th order nonlinear deterministic model proposed. Conventional control is used to design a closed loop controller for the nonlinear system. Continuous system simulation techniques are employed to explain the effect of bank – to – turn on cross coupling of yaw, pitch and roll channels. Detailed simulation studies are then used for a wide range of engagement sinearieous for trajectory of Missile / Target interception. The target model is considered for three cases: stationary, moving and maneuvering targets. Satisfactory results are obtained for capturing the targets.
