Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of missile guidance and control technology, specifically relating to a design method for a terminal angle attack guidance law that satisfies the field of view constraint when intercepting maneuvering targets. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing maneuverability and penetration capabilities of attack aircraft targets, traditional zero-control miss-range interception guidance laws have reduced the destructive power of interceptor warheads and the probability of successful interception. Therefore, both domestic and international research focuses more on the design of multi-constraint guidance laws, namely, striking the target's key components at the desired attack angle. Furthermore, considering the physical constraints in guidance law design, such as seeker field-of-view constraints and actuator output limitations, terminal guidance laws that consider seeker field-of-view and attack angle constraints for target engagement have become a hot research topic both domestically and internationally.
[0003] However, existing domestic and international research literature on guidance law design for attack angle and field of view constraints mainly focuses on the design of multi-constraint guidance laws for air-to-ground missiles or anti-ship missiles. There is little research on terminal guidance for intercepting maneuvering targets at the desired attack angle under the condition of satisfying the seeker's field of view constraint. The literature "Kim HG, Kim HJ. Field-of-View Constrained Guidance Law for a Maneuvering Target With ImpactAngle Control[J].IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems,2020(6):56" studies the problem of intercepting maneuvering targets at the desired attack angle under the condition of two-dimensional field of view constraint. The relationship between the terminal desired field of view and the terminal desired attack angle is derived, and the attack angle constraint is transformed into the line of sight constraint. The field of view is constrained by introducing a sign function in the sliding surface, and a stability proof of the field of view and attack angle satisfying the constraints is given. The literature “Wang X, Zhang Y, Wu H. Sliding mode control based impact angle control guidance considering the seeker’s field-of-view constraint[J]. Isa Transactions, 2016, 61” further designs a multi-constraint guidance law for intercepting maneuvering targets by using sliding mode control based on the sufficient condition of satisfying the field-of-view constraint.
[0004] However, the guidance laws for intercepting maneuvering targets in the aforementioned literature that satisfy the seeker's field of view and angle of attack constraints are all designed in a two-dimensional plane. When applied to three-dimensional guidance law design, the coupling between the pitch and yaw channels will affect the guidance accuracy. Therefore, this invention proposes a multi-constraint guidance law for intercepting maneuvering targets based on sliding mode surfaces and filters. Summary of the Invention

[0013] To make the objectives, contents, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0014] This invention belongs to the field of missile guidance and control technology, and specifically relates to the design of the guidance rate for interceptor missiles to intercept maneuvering targets. It can ensure that the interceptor missile intercepts the maneuvering target at the desired terminal angle under the condition of satisfying the field of view constraint of the seeker.
[0015] To address the challenge that traditional zero-control miss-range interception guidance laws are insufficient to meet the guidance requirements of interceptor missiles against highly maneuverable targets, this invention presents a terminal angle attack guidance law design method that satisfies the seeker's field of view constraints when intercepting maneuvering targets. Based on a three-dimensional interception guidance model, this invention proposes a guidance law design target that satisfies the seeker's field of view and terminal angle constraints in a three-dimensional interception scenario. A neural network estimation model for target maneuvering disturbances is constructed, a multi-constraint guidance law sliding surface is designed, a time-varying obstacle avoidance Lyapunov function is defined, and it is proven that the interceptor missile can intercept maneuvering targets with the desired terminal angle under the condition of satisfying the seeker's field of view constraints.
[0016] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: Based on a three-dimensional interception model, a guidance rate design target that satisfies the seeker's field of view and terminal angle constraints is constructed; a neural network estimation model is selected; and a multi-constraint guidance rate is designed. The specific method steps are as follows:
[0017] A. Construction of a 3D Interception Model
[0018] Consider as Figure 1 The three-dimensional interception model shown is illustrated, where M and T represent the interceptor missile and the target, respectively, and four coordinate systems are defined, namely the inertial coordinate system MX. I Y I Z I Line of sight coordinate system MX L Y L Z L The ballistic coordinate system MX of the interceptor missile M Y M Z M and the target's ballistic coordinate system TX T Y T Z T The variable r is the relative distance between the interceptor missile and the target, and the conversion between the inertial frame and the line-of-sight frame is defined by two angles: the line-of-sight tilt angle θ. L and line of sight deflection ψ L The velocity system and line-of-sight system of the interceptor missile are defined as being connected by the forward tilt angle θ of the interceptor missile. M and the pre-positioned deflection angle ψ M Similarly, the conversion is performed between the target's velocity system and line-of-sight system via the target's forward tilt angle θ. T and the pre-positioned deflection angle ψ T Define the parameters. Assume the interceptor missile's velocity is V. M and target speed V T All are constant values. Determined by the interceptor missile's lead angle σ. Mand the forward tilt angle θ of the interceptor missile M and the pre-positioned deflection angle ψ M The geometric relationship between them can be expressed as follows:
[0019] cosσ M =cosθ M ·cosψ M (1)
[0020] Furthermore, the interception kinematics and dynamics can be further described as follows:
[0021]
[0022]
[0023]
[0024]
[0025]
[0026]
[0027]
[0028] Among them, (a yM a zM ) and (a yT a zT These are the normal accelerations of the interceptor missile and the target, respectively.
[0029] To further derive the terminal guidance law for maneuvering targets that satisfies the field of view and terminal angle constraints, we define x1 = θ L -θ LD , x3=ψ L -ψ Ld , Where, θ Ld , ψ Ld Let be the desired field of view angle, and the dynamic equations for the above state variables are expressed as follows:
[0030]
[0031] in, h1=-cosθ M / R, d1=cosθ T ·a zT / R.
[0032]
[0033] in, h2=(sinθ M sinψ M ) / (Rcosθ L h3=-cosψ M / (Rcosθ L ), d2=(cosψ T ·a yT ) / (R·cosθ L )-(sinθ T ·sinψ T ·a zT ) / (R·cosθ L ).
[0034] B. Constructing Guidance Law Design Objectives
[0035] The design objective of the guidance law in a 3D interception scenario, satisfying the seeker's field of view and terminal angle constraints, is as follows:
[0036]
[0037] Where, θ Ld , ψ Ld These are the desired pitch and yaw line-of-sight angles. The maximum forward angle is limited by the seeker's field of view. Furthermore, zero-control miss distance can be achieved when the line-of-sight angular rate approaches zero; therefore, the target conversion design...
[0038]
[0039] Based on the definitions of state variables x1, x2, x3, and x4, the equation satisfies the following formula:
[0040]
[0041] Unlike two-dimensional interception guidance where there is an explicit relationship between the desired terminal attack angle and the terminal line-of-sight angle, in three-dimensional interception scenarios, based on the nonlinear coupling relationship between the pitch and V-yaw channels, it is impossible to derive the explicit geometric relationship between the desired terminal pitch attack angle and the desired terminal yaw attack angle and the terminal line-of-sight tilt and deflection angles. However, for the three-dimensional interception maneuvering target guidance problem, considering the terminal line-of-sight angle constraint can ensure that the terminal line-of-sight angle tracking error and its first derivative converge to zero simultaneously, thereby effectively avoiding the controller chattering problem at the moment of collision.

[0080] And another sliding surface of the following form is given.
[0081]
[0082] Where k2 > 0, 1 < r2 < 2, sign(x2) is the sign function of x2.
[0083] Differentiating equation (30) yields
[0084]
[0085] Substituting equation (10) into equation (31) yields
[0086]
[0087] Choose a Lyapunov function of the following form
[0088]
[0089] Differentiating equation (33) and substituting equation (32) into it, we get
[0090]

[0110]
[0111] in, a = max(a1, a2),
[0112] According to stability theory, the Lyapunov functions V1, V2, and V3 will converge to zero in a finite time, and V1 is bounded. This proves that the missile will intercept the maneuvering target at the desired terminal angle under the condition that the seeker's field of view is constrained.
