Design of Adaptive Super‐Twisting Cooperative Guidance Law for Intercepting Highly Maneuvering Target

To solve the problem of multimissile coordinated interception of maneuvering targets, an adaptive super‐twisting cooperative guidance law (ASTCGL) was proposed. First, a super‐twisting control algorithm and algebraic graph theory were combined to design a robust cooperative guidance law. Secondly, the RBF neural network is used to estimate the maneuvering ability of the target, and the buffeting control system is designed to adjust the gain function on line. Finally, the stability of the whole guidance and control system is proved based on Lyapunov′s direct method, and the numerical simulation of four missiles′ cooperative intercepting maneuvering targets is carried out. The simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed cooperative guidance law.
