Distributed Finite-Time Cooperative Guidance Against a Moving Target: A Finite-Time Observer Approach

Abstract

This paper investigates the cooperative guidance issue for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for simultaneous attacks on maneuvering targets with a prescribed angle formation. Each UAV is accessible to the relative information with respect to the target while the absolute information of the target is unavailable. Also, each UAV just interacts with its neighbors locally. By introducing the integral sliding mode technique, a finite-time observer for the exact estimation of the absolute information of the target is designed. With the help of such an observer, a distributed cooperative guidance algorithm is developed such that both the time-to-go estimate consensus and angle formation objectives are achieved in finite time given that the undirected graph is connected. Finally, a simulation example is presented to validate the efficiency of the suggested guidance algorithm.
