Prescribed time fully distributed guidance against maneuvering targets with performance constraints

AbstractThree-dimensional prescribed time cooperative guidance issues are investigated in this paper. Firstly, a fully distributed cooperative guidance law along the line-of-sight (LOS) direction is presented to guarantee consensus on the impact time among the swarm of aircraft. Secondly, via a nonlinear transformation function to construct an unconstrained mapping system, the LOS angle-constrained guidance law with prescribed performance is derived for the normal LOS direction. The prescribed time properties of the proposed guidance laws are analyzed based on the Lyapunov method. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to validate the effectiveness of theoretical results.
