Distributed cooperative guidance and control for multiple missiles

A kind of multi-missile distributed cooperative guidance and control method for coordinated attacking maneuvering target in three-dimensional space was proposed based on the principle of network synchronization. A kind of suitable three-dimensional position synchronization algorithm was designed. The target was seen as a leader and made up a "leader-followers" topology with missiles. The synchronization algorithm gave out the speed commands of each missile in three directions. Velocity and trajectory angle commands which can be tracked by autopilot were got based on the coordinate transformation theory. Switching control method was used in designing autopilot, which realized closed loop simulation. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.
