Abstract

The invention relates to a guidance law design method suitable for a plane symmetry missile BTT control strategy. Different from a sideslip turning control strategy adopted by an axial symmetry missile, the plane symmetry missile comprises a cruise missile and a patrolling missile, and most of the plane symmetry missiles adopt an inclined turning control strategy BTT. A normal / lateral overload instruction + a zero roll angle instruction controlled by STT is converted into a missile system Y-direction overload instruction + a roll angle instruction + a zero missile system Z-direction overload instruction controlled by BTT, and the matching coordination of work of a control system and a guidance system is enhanced by utilizing the conversion relation among a launching coordinate system, a missile visual line coordinate system, a quasi missile body coordinate system and a missile body coordinate system; the striking precision is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a design method, specifically a guidance law design method applicable to the BTT control strategy of symmetric missiles. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional tactical missiles, including surface-to-air missiles, anti-tank missiles, and rockets, mostly adopt an axisymmetric aerodynamic shape, have strong overload capacity and good maneuverability, and generally use the STT control strategy.

[0004] A key difference between symmetrical and axisymmetric missiles lies in their aerodynamic shapes. Axisymmetric missiles typically have a smooth body with aerodynamic fins at the tail, or sometimes aerodynamic fins in the middle of the body, but these are always symmetrically distributed. In contrast, symmetrical missiles have tail fins and a pair of ailerons. To increase the lift-to-drag ratio and improve range, the ailerons have a larger wingspan, with an aspect ratio of around 18. Under these aerodynamic configurations, the traditional STT (Standard Tolerance) control strategy is no longer applicable, and a BTT (Body Tolerance) control strategy is required.

[0005] To adapt to the BTT control strategy, the guidance law design method needs to be adapted and improved, changing from the normal / lateral overload command + zero roll angle command of STT control to the Y-axis overload command + roll angle command + zero Z-axis overload command of the projectile system of BTT control. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Unlike axisymmetric missiles, which employ a slide-to-turn (STT) control strategy, symmetric missiles, including cruise missiles and loitering munitions, mostly employ a bank-to-turn (BTT) control strategy. Based on the technical characteristics of the BTT control strategy, this invention proposes a guidance law design method suitable for the BTT control strategy of symmetric missiles by utilizing the transformation relationships between the launch coordinate system, the missile-target line-of-sight coordinate system, the quasi-missile coordinate system, and the missile body coordinate system. This method enhances the matching and coordination between the control system and the guidance system, thereby improving strike accuracy.

[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A guidance law design method applicable to the BTT control strategy of symmetric missiles includes:

[0009] 1) Coordinate system transformation

[0010] 1.1) From the launch coordinate system to the target line-of-sight coordinate system

[0011] The transformation matrix from the launch coordinate system to the target line-of-sight coordinate system is:

[0012] (1)

[0013] in, and These are the tilt angle and deflection angle of the bullet's line of sight, respectively.

[0014] 1, 2) From launch coordinate system to projectile coordinate system

[0015] The transformation matrix from the launch coordinate system to the projectile coordinate system is:

[0016] (3)

[0017] 1, 3) From the quasi-projectile coordinate system to the projectile coordinate system

[0018] The transformation matrix from the quasi-projectile coordinate system to the projectile coordinate system is:

[0019] (4)

[0020] 2) Guidance law design process applicable to BTT control strategy for symmetric missiles

[0021] The components of the angular velocity along the Y / Z axes of the projectile-view line-of-sight coordinate system are:

[0022] (5)

[0023] The proportional guidance law is designed in the line-of-sight coordinate system as follows:

[0024] (6)

[0025] In equation (6), For navigation ratio, The rate of change of the relative distance between the projectile and the target;

[0026] Assuming the overload command on the X-axis of the projectile-target line-of-sight coordinate system is 0, based on the transformation relationship from the projectile-target line-of-sight coordinate system to the quasi-projectile coordinate system, the overload command in the quasi-projectile coordinate system can be obtained as follows:

[0027] (7)

[0028] Simplifying equation (7), we obtain the overload command for the Y / Z axes in the quasi-elastic system as follows:

[0029] (8)

[0030] Compensating for the gravity term, the overload command for the Y / Z axes in the corrected quasi-ballistic system is as follows:

[0031] (9)

[0032] The quasi-projectile coordinate system differs from the projectile coordinate system only by one roll motion along the X-axis. Therefore, the Y-axis overload command and roll angle command in the projectile coordinate system can be calculated as follows:

[0033] (10)

[0034] Based on the characteristics of the BTT (Body Tolerance) control strategy for symmetrical missiles, a portion of the missile's lift in the Y-axis direction is diverted to the yaw channel via roll to achieve turning. Therefore, the overload command on the Z-axis of the missile body should be set to zero to reduce the coupling between the yaw and roll channels. Thus, the guidance law suitable for the BTT control strategy is:

[0035] (11)

[0036] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0038] 2. The guidance law design process is rigorous, the physical meaning is clear, and the algorithm implementation is simple and intuitive. The algorithm is written as a C language function module, which can complete the calculation efficiently and quickly in the onboard computer. Attached Figure Description

[0063] (5)

[0064] The proportional guidance law is designed in the line-of-sight coordinate system as follows:

[0065] (6)

[0066] In equation (6), For navigation ratio, This represents the rate of change of the relative distance between the projectile and the target.

[0067] Assuming the overload command on the X-axis of the projectile-viewpoint coordinate system is 0, based on the transformation relationship from the projectile-viewpoint coordinate system to the quasi-projectile coordinate system, the overload command in the quasi-projectile coordinate system can be obtained as follows:
