A continuous predictive approach based on backstepping with application to integrated guidance and control design

This paper presents a three dimensional integrated guidance and control approach for homing missile using modified backstepping. A continuous predictive control is introduced into the backstepping process to deal with control saturation. Asymptotic tracking convergence under the developed method is studied. Integrated guidance and control strategy is used to demonstrate the application. Nonlinear simulation results illustrate the efficacy of the approach.
