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 navigation ratio. CAPN guidance law is defined by deriving the effective navigation ratio from the PN-based guidance law and the rate of change of target-pursuer range. The simulations show the capability of CAPN guidance law applied to a missile engaging head-to-head scenarios which the target use a pull-up maneuver. It is contrasted with PPN and TPN classical guidance law, to compare performance in terms of miss distance. CAPN guidance law is regarded as better than those of other classical PN-based guidance laws.

Random Matrix Based Extended Target Tracking with Orientation: A New Model and Inference
Tuncer, Barkın; Özkan, Emre (2021-02-01)
In this study, we propose a novel extended target tracking algorithm which is capable of representing the extent of dynamic objects as an ellipsoid with a time-varying orientation angle. A diagonal positive semi-definite matrix is defined to model objects' extent within the random matrix framework where the diagonal elements have inverse-Gamma priors. The resulting measurement equation is non-linear in the state variables, and it is not possible to find a closed-form analytical expression for the true poste...
Cooperative Guidance Law for High-Speed and High-Maneuverability Air Targets
Cevher, Firat Yilmaz; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2023-2-01)
In this paper, a novel cooperative and predictive guidance law is proposed to intercept high-speed and high-maneuverability targets with inferior interceptors. The purpose of guidance is cooperatively covering the most-probable locations where the target may be in the future. To fulfill this purpose, predicted target states in the form of a probability density function were obtained using limited target information, i.e., noisy position data for one case and maneuverability limits for the second case, at fi...
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...
Topological Navigation Algorithm Design and Analysis Using Spherical Images
Şahin, Yasin; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-23)
A topological navigation algorithm that has the capability of mapping and localization based on visual contents is proposed. Keypoint detection and feature matching are conducted on spherical images to extract significant features among sequential frames. Robot movement direction is estimated based on historical angle differences of significant features to reach the final destination. The navigation process is supported with visual egocentric localization to gain simultaneous localization and mapping compet...
Biased proportional navigation guidance for impact angle control with extension to three-dimensional engagements /
Erer, Koray Savaş; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Merttopçuoğlu, Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
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 ap...
