Effect of seeker disturbance rejection rate on performance of optimal guidance laws with terminal impact angle constraint

In order to study the effect of seeker disturbance rejection rate on performance of optimal guidance law, based on guidance law with terminal impact angle (GLTIA) and extended guidance law with terminal impact angle (EGLIA), the regularization of strapdown seeker disturbance rejection rate on the stability of guidance system was studied. Using adjoint method the miss distance of GLTIA and EGLIA were analyzed. The results show that the stable domain of guidance system is larger when strapdown seeker parasitic loop is negative feedback than positive feedback, the stability will reduce when the value of disturbance rejection rate gets bigger. Though EGLIA has more excellent guidance performance than GLTIA, but the influence of a parasitic loop of seeker disturbance rejection rate will be more serious, the sufferable value of seeker disturbance rejection rate for EGLIA is about 2.5%, and the GLTIA is about 3.5%. In the practical application, if the guidance law would work with advanced performance, the value of seeker disturbance rejection rate should be much stricter to reduce the effect of parasitic loop. © 2017, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.
