Heuristic Dynamic Programming Guidance for Circular Trajectories with Impact Angle Constraints
Keywords:
Circular trajectories, HDP, Three-point guidance mode, MMPSOAbstract
This paper proposes a new optimal guidance law around circular trajectories to control impact angle constraints in three-point guidance mode. The guidance law employs a presented heuristic dynamic programming (HDP) algorithm to realize close loop and provide optimized weighting matrices. To obtain the accurate optimized matrices fast, a multi-search mode particle swarm optimization (MMPSO) method is used. Moreover, the stationary target can be attacked successfully under the presented guidance, and the less control effort and smoother trajectories are well guaranteed. Additionally, the effectiveness and applicability of our proposed guidance scheme are explicitly verified through simulation tests.
