This study presents analyses of guidance laws that involve non-monotonic convergence in heading error from a new perspective based on an advanced stability concept. Pure proportional navigation with range-varying navigation ...

Introduction: The sensitivity function, defined as the closed-loop transfer function from the exogenous input to the tracking error, is central to the multi-objective design and analysis of a feedback control system. Its ...

This paper presents an online parameter update algorithm in the context of composite model reference adaptive control based on intermittent signal holding to improve convergence properties of the parameters representing ...

We propose an active weighting algorithm for composite adaptive control to reduce the state and estimate errors while maintaining the estimation quality. Unlike previous studies that construct the composite term by simply ...

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of biased proportional navigation guidance laws with variable gain in the bias command that achieve stationary target interception with a desired impact angle under the restriction ...

This study presents a guidance method for flight vehicles gliding in the vertical plane to achieve desired position and velocity at the final time. The proposed guidance algorithm combines two decoupled elements to plan ...

The capability to control the time of arrival at a goal position as desired endows a single vehicle or a coalition of many of them with the strategic advantage to perform time-critical missions. Arrival time coordination ...

This study presents incremental correction methods for refining neural network parameters or control functions entering into a continuous-time dynamic system to achieve improved solution accuracy in satisfying the interim ...

This study presents the design of three-dimensional biased proportional navigation guidance laws for arrival at a stationary target along a desired direction based on spatial rotation of predicted final velocity vector. ...

This study presents control parametrisation as a unifying framework for designing a linear feedback control law that achieves finite-time transfer of output as well as trajectory shaping. Representing control input as a ...
