Time Cooperative Guidance Law With the Maximum Consensus Algorithm of Time-To-G

This paper studies the problem of time cooperative guidance of multiple aircrafts against a stationary target. First, the maximum consensus algorithm of the time-to-go is introduced to calculate the time consensus error. Then, the consensus error is introduced into the navigation gain by feedback to make the gain time-varying, and a cooperative guidance law is developed to ensure the simultaneous strike against the stationary target. In addition, Lyapunov-based stability analysis rigorously proves the convergence properties of the proposed cooperative guidance law. Finally, the effectiveness and the practicality of the algorithm is verified through the simulation and practical experiment.
