Stringent demands on modern guided weapon systems require new approaches to guidance, control, and estimation. There are requirements for pinpoint accuracy, low cost per round, easy upgrade paths, enhanced performance in counter-measure environments, and the ability to track low-observable targets. Advances in Missile Guidance, Control, and Estimat
Part I of this report describes a real time three dimensional minimax pursuit evader algorithm. The fast algorithm is possible due to the assumption of constant speed, piecewise circular trajectories. Part II of this report includes several papers on the interaction of estimation and control for missile guidance.
The continuing evolving capability of guided weapons demands ever more knowledge of their development. This modern and comprehensive book covers the control aspect of guidance of missiles, torpedoes, robots, and even animal predators, from the viewpoint of the pursuer. The text studies trajectories, zones of interception, the required manoeuvre effort, time of flight, launch envelopes, and stability of the guidance process. Mathematics at first-year university level is the only prerequisite. Acquaintance with feedback control theory would be helpful to the reader.

Design of Guidance and Control Systems for Tactical Missiles presents a modern, comprehensive study of the latest design methods for tactical missile guidance and control. It analyzes autopilot designs, seeker system designs, guidance laws and theories, and the internal and external disturbances affecting the performance factors of missile guidance control systems. The text combines detailed examination of key theories with practical coverage of methods for advanced missile guidance control systems. It is valuable content for professors and graduate-level students in missile guidance and control, as well as engineers and researchers who work in the area of tactical missile guidance and control.
For both experts and novices, presents the principles of both tactical and strategic missile guidance in a common language, notation, and perspective, with numerous examples to illustrate the concepts. This revised edition (1st ed., 1990) adds three new chapters on the fundamentals of endoatmospheric ballistic targets; a new chapter showing how covariance analysis can be used to analyze missile guidance systems; two new appendices; and included Macintosh and IBM compatible formatted disks containing the FORTRAN code listings presented in the text.

Airborne Vehicle Guidance and Control Systems is a broad and wide- angled engineering and technological area for research, and continues to be important not only in military defense systems but also in industrial process control and in commercial transportation networks such as various Global Positioning Systems (GPS). The book fills a long-standing gap in the literature. The author is retired from the Air Force Institute and received the Air Force's Outstanding Civilian Career Service Award.
Explores some new applications that are based on linear quadratic (LQ) theories to the optimal guidance problems. New guidance laws that are based on LQ one-sided optimization theory and on differential game theory are introduced, and old guidance laws are rederived and set in a more general framework. Written specifically for engineers, the problems are formulated and solved with state-space representations in an informal mathematical style. The disk includes the source code listings of the MATLAB and MAPLE subroutines for the analytical and numerical solutions to the optimization problems in the text.

The two first CEAS (Council of European Aerospace Societies) Specialist Conferences on Guidance, Navigation and Control (CEAS EuroGNC) were held in Munich, Germany in 2011 and in Delft, The Netherlands in 2013. ONERA The French Aerospace Lab, ISAE (Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace) and ENAC (Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile) accepted the challenge of jointly organizing the 3rd edition. The conference aims at promoting new advances in aerospace GNC theory and technologies for enhancing safety, survivability, efficiency, performance, autonomy and intelligence of aerospace systems. It represents a unique forum for communication and information exchange between specialists in the fields of GNC systems design and operation, including air traffic management. This book contains the forty best papers and gives an interesting snapshot of the latest advances over the following topics: l Control theory, analysis, and design l Novel navigation, estimation, and tracking methods l Aircraft, spacecraft, missile and UAV guidance, navigation, and control l Flight testing and experimental results l Intelligent control in aerospace applications l Aerospace robotics and unmanned/autonomous systems l Sensor systems for guidance, navigation and control l Guidance, navigation, and control concepts in air traffic control systems For the 3rd CEAS Specialist Conference on Guidance, Navigation and Control the International Program Committee conducted a formal review process. Each paper was reviewed in compliance with standard journal practice by at least two independent and anonymous reviewers. The papers published in this book were selected from the conference proceedings based on the results and recommendations from the reviewers.
The problem of parameter estimation using tracking information is examined. Two models are developed and used to estimate the misalignment angles of the inertial system of a missile after its launch. The estimation is based on maximum likelihood concepts. The amount of information extracted from the tracking measurements and the missile specific forces measurements is analysed. A feasibility study of the two models is conducted. The second model uses the aerodynamic model of the missile in order to enhance its estimation ability. Doing this, it incorporates more non-linearities than the first model. These severe non-linearities were found to offset the advantage it had in terms of information gathering. The first model is much simpler in its concept. Yet, it is still able to gather the information needed and its performance is very comparable to the one of the second model. The simplicity and linearity of the first model make it especially attractive. (Author).
