Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft control, and in particular to a mid-to-terminal handover guidance method based on laser semi-active strapdown guidance. Background Technology
[0002] Strapdown laser semi-active seekers, characterized by strong anti-jamming capabilities, simple structure, and easy miniaturization, have been widely used in air-to-ground missile systems. They mainly consist of an optical lens, a four-quadrant detector, a signal processing board, and a mechanical lens barrel. During guidance, the seeker receives diffuse reflection echoes generated by the laser designator illuminating the target, enabling functions such as echo focusing, photoelectric conversion, pattern recognition, and four-quadrant energy ratio calculation to obtain information such as the target misalignment angle.
[0003] Air-to-ground missiles employing strapdown laser semi-active homing typically consist of three phases: initial guidance, mid-course guidance, and terminal guidance. The initial guidance phase primarily stabilizes the missile upon launch. The mid-course guidance phase guides the missile to its intended target position until the seeker acquires the target. The terminal guidance phase utilizes the seeker's misalignment angle information and the control system to achieve precise engagement with the target. The handover between the mid-course and terminal phases is the most crucial stage in the missile's flight. Therefore, ensuring a smooth transition between these phases is of paramount importance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a mid-to-terminal handover guidance method based on laser semi-active strapdown guidance in order to solve the above problems.
[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0008] S2. Calculate the missile-eye line-of-sight angle in inertial space based on the pitch and azimuth misalignment angles, and record the initial value of the initial missile-eye line-of-sight angle. The line-of-sight angle includes the elevation angle and the azimuth angle.
[0009] S3. A digital filtering algorithm is used to filter the line-of-sight angle of the bullet to obtain the line-of-sight angle rate of the bullet. The initial value of the filter is set to the initial value of the line-of-sight angle of the bullet to accelerate the convergence of the filter.
[0010] S4. Generate guidance commands based on pitch and azimuth misalignment angles;
[0011] S5. A linear transition method is used to achieve a smooth transition between the mid-to-late guidance segment, the L1 guidance segment, and the PN guidance segment.

The design of the mid- and terminal phase handover guidance algorithm based on laser semi-active strapdown guidance is crucial. Attached Figure Description

[0026] S1. Based on the pitch and azimuth offset angles output by the seeker, guide the target quickly into the linear region of the seeker's field of view; specifically including:
[0027] S11. Based on the pitch offset angle output by the seeker head. and orientation misalignment angle Calculate the total misalignment angle, expressed as:
[0028]
[0029] S12, according to Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the three-dimensional L1 guidance geometry shown is used to obtain the total overload command using the three-dimensional L1 guidance algorithm, and is represented as follows:
[0030]
[0031] Where V is the missile velocity, L1 is an adjustable parameter representing the distance of the missile from the reference point on the line of sight; the smaller L1 is, the faster the missile's velocity. c The larger, The faster the convergence to zero, the better. Conversely, The convergence speed is slow; considering both the convergence speed and the bandwidth of the control system, its range is generally... g is the acceleration due to gravity;
[0032] S13, according to pitch misalignment angle and orientation misalignment angle The total overload is decomposed into normal and lateral overload commands for the missile system O-x1y1z1. The combined direction of these two commands ensures that the total overload direction points towards the target's azimuth. Figure 2 The diagram showing the total overload command decomposition, considering the longitudinal component of gravitational acceleration, yields the longitudinal and lateral overload commands, expressed as follows:
[0033]
[0034] in, For the normal overload command of the L1 guidance segment, This is a lateral overload command for the L1 guidance phase. This refers to the trajectory inclination angle.
[0035] S14. Make the target quickly enter the linear zone of the seeker's field of view.
[0036] S2. Calculate the missile-eye line-of-sight angle in inertial space based on the pitch and azimuth misalignment angles, and record the initial value of the initial missile-eye line-of-sight angle. The line-of-sight angle includes the elevation and azimuth angles; specifically:
[0037] Once the seeker locks onto the target, the relative distance between the missile and the target at a certain moment is r. The components of r in the O-x1y1z1 equation can be obtained from the elevation and azimuth misalignment angles. The line-of-sight angle can be used to determine the component of r in the launch system O. g -x g y g z g If the positional components are in the matrix, then the following relationship holds:
[0038]

The initial value of the filter is set to the initial value of the projectile-eye line-of-sight angle to accelerate filter convergence; specifically including:
[0046] S31. Due to significant measurement noise in the offset angle and the inability to directly obtain the angular rate information required for the PN guidance law, a second-order digital filter is used to obtain the line-of-sight angle and line-of-sight angular rate filtered values. The filter form is as follows:
[0047]
[0048] Among them, T s The filter period is the same as the offset angle update period. G and H are the filter gains, both determined by parameters. Sure, Let n be the input value at time n. , The input estimates and differential estimates are respectively given at time n.
[0049] S32. To ensure fast filter convergence, on the one hand, reduce... Increasing the filter bandwidth will affect the filtering effect, which needs to be determined through actual simulation. On the other hand, the filter form shows that the estimated value at time n is related to the estimated value at time n-1. Therefore, it is necessary to set the initial value of the filter to start the filtering process. Thus, the initial value of the final line-of-sight angle is used as the initial value of the filter estimate to ensure rapid tracking of the original signal, expressed as:

[0064] in, , These are the normal overload and lateral overload commands for the PN guidance segment in O-x1y1z1, respectively, and K. y K zThese are the normal and lateral guidance ratios, respectively.
[0065] S5. A linear transition method is used to achieve a smooth transition between the mid-to-late guidance segment, the L1 guidance segment, and the PN guidance segment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, specifically: line-of-sight angular rate filtering begins simultaneously upon entering the L1 guidance phase. Although the PN guidance phase has not yet been entered, the filter's pre-calculation allows for additional convergence time. Based on the guidance law connection logic of the mid-to-final guidance phases, the guidance command for the final guidance phase is obtained, expressed as:
[0066]
[0067] in, and The expression is:
[0068]
[0069] Where, in the formula and These represent the transition time from mid-course guidance to terminal guidance and the transition time from L1 guidance to PN guidance, respectively, where t is the guidance time.
[0070] Simulation verification:
[0071] Among the seeker parameters , ,but The L1 guidance parameter is set to L1=550m, and the digital filter parameters are... Filtering period T s =0.05s, PN guidance segment guidance ratio K y =4、K z =3.5, guidance segment switching time The guidance process includes the seeker's misalignment angle and total misalignment angle, normal overload and lateral overload commands and their tracking, and the filtering effects of line-of-sight elevation and azimuth angles, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the missile enters terminal guidance around T0=9.2s and PN guidance around T1=11.5s. L1 guidance occurs between [T0, T1). During this time period, the line-of-sight angular rate digital filter converges, achieving good guidance performance. The above simulation case verifies the mid-to-terminal handover guidance design algorithm.
