This work shows that the impact angle can be controlled by means of bias addition to pure proportional navigation guidance commands. After obtaining the closed-form solution of the nonlinear differential equations governing the engagement kinematics between a pursuer and a stationary target, it is shown that the proposed strategy corresponds to the optimal solution in the linear domain. Three alternative guidance laws that do not require the time to go are proposed. The first law constitutes a two-phased approach, where the bias is removed after obtaining proper pursuit conditions. The second law, which makes use of the range-to-go information, and the third law, which leads to an exponentially decaying error profile, are single-phased approaches that do not suffer from the open-loop nature of the first one in its second phase. The framework of this study allows the treatment of both the look angle and the acceleration constraints in such a way that the impact angle capacity corresponding to any engagement geometry can be analyzed. In addition to a complete but impractical formulation, a feasible constrained guidance solution is presented. A single-gain range observer that addresses the observability issue in a convenient manner is formulated to supplement the trajectory shaping effort. The case of moving targets is dealt with by means of constructing the collision triangle. Two different schemes are considered based on the rotations of the absolute and relative velocity vectors. The plane-pursuit midcourse guidance method proposed to confine a general engagement scenario to a single plane facilitates the extension to three-dimensional engagements.

Biased Proportional Navigation with Exponentially Decaying Error for Impact Angle Control and Path Following Erer, Korav S.; Tekin, Raziye; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal (2016-06-24) In this paper, a bias term to enhance proportional navigation is designed through an error signal that is a function of pursuit angles with the objective of accommodating both the problem of impact angle control against a stationary target and the problem of path following using the virtual target concept. The design leads to a second order transfer function describing the linear error dynamics contained within the nonlinear environment. The performance of the proposed guidance law is demonstrated in a comp...
Capturability of Combined Augmented Proportional Navigation against a Pull-Up Maneuvering Target Nugroho, Larasmoyo; Kutay, Ali Türker (2015-12-05) This article paper proposes a variation of the augmented proportional navigation law, called combined augmented proportional navigation which is studied to intercept a non-maneuvering target. This law is constructed from two predecessor laws, augmented proportional navigation (APN) known for its superiority performance against such target and coupled with combined proportional navigation (CPN) which has capability to compute head angle more than 90 degrees by solving the appearance of singularity in navigat...
Feedback motion planning with stochastic model predictive control Deveci, Tuvana Deniz; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5) In real-world applications of motion planning and navigation, it is crucial to have a robust and accurate control policy. To achieve robustness and accuracy, the selected policy should handle the uncertainty in the process, which may arise from the surrounding environment or the process itself. However, most methods ignore the effects of uncertainty and cause inadmissible results for several applications. This thesis brings a solution to the addressed problem by proposing a trajectory-free motion control me...
Non-local stabilization of nonlinear systems using switching manifolds Banks, SP; Salamci, MU; McCaffrey, D (2000-02-01) The stabilization of nonlinear systems is considered by reducing the problem to a lower dimensional switching manifold which is made globally attracting. The switching manifold is designed using the stable manifold of the unforced system. The technique is first developed in local case and then in the global situation of nonlinear vector fields on manifolds. The method generalizes the standard Lyapunov approach.
Steering laws for control moment gyroscope systems used in spacecrafts attitude control Yavuzoğlu, Emre; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2003) In this thesis, the kinematic properties of Single Gimballed Control Moment Gyroscopes (SGCMGs) are investigated. Singularity phenomenon inherent to them is explained. Furthermore, existing steering laws with their derivations are given. A novel steering law is developed that may provide singularity avoidance or may be used for quick transition through a singularity with small torque errors. To avoid singularity angular momentum trajectory of the maneuver is to be simulated in advance for the calculation of...
