Abstract
The problem of three-dimensional impact time control guidance considering field-of-view constraints and time-varying velocity is investigated in this study. First, considering the effect of gravity and aerodynamic forces on velocity, a simplified numerical estimation algorithm of flight time with a three-dimensional proportional navigation guidance law is derived. Then, based on the structure of the biased proportional navigation guidance law, the effect of the biased term on flight time is analyzed. The biased term is then designed to achieve impact time and field-of-view constraints considering time-varying velocity. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed guidance law.
