Novel cooperative guidance method considering the constraints of communication and field of view in salvo attack

To address the constraints of communication and field of view (FOV) for multiple flight vehicles (MFV) in salvo attacks, this paper proposes a novel cooperative guidance method. First, the optimal error dynamics based on the impact time control guidance (ITCG) is designed, and it is improved to a distributed cooperative guidance law. Second, the virtual leader strategy is introduced to solve the problem of cooperative guidance with switching communication topology and time delay. Finally, a data fusion algorithm is proposed to solve the constraint of FOV by a Kalman filter and the communication topology compensation. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed method.
