Finite-time composite guidance law with input constraint and dynamics compensation

Guidance laws are proposed for a near space interceptor with on-off type thrust as output.The target-interceptor engagement kinematics is integrated with the first-order dynamics of thruster to design guidance laws.The bang-bang type guidance law with linear sliding mode is proposed to deal with thruster dynamics,and the sufficient condition for finite time convergence is rigorously proved based on the finite-time convergence theory.According to the sufficient condition,a sliding mode guidance law with hysteresis-band switching is introduced to reduce the switching frequency of thruster.Then two guidance laws are combined into a composite guidance law to improve the guidance performance.Simulation results show that the line-of-sight angular rate can converge to a neighborhood of the equilibrium point before the final time of the guidance process,and the composite guidance law has better performance than typical guidance laws.
