Output-feedback based partial integrated missile guidance and control law design

An output-feedback based partial integrated guidance and control (IGC) law for missile interceptor is proposed with the smooth finite time convergence property. Firstly, a novel output-feedback based smooth sliding mode control is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems in the presence of immeasurable state and disturbance. The finite time convergence property of this control scheme is proved based on the Lyapunov stability and homogeneous principle. Then, the proposed control method is applied to the design of partial IGC law. A kind of scaling methods is also developed to reach the rapid convergence of the system. An important dominance of this control scheme is the smooth characteristic, which may result in chattering free convergence. The simulation results indicate the high precision and smooth elevator deflection of the proposed output feedback base partial IGC law.
