A Self-Adaptive Missile Guidance System for Statistical Inputs

A method of designing a self-adaptive missile guidance system is presented. The system inputs are assumed to be known in a statistical sense only. Newton's modified Wiener theory is utilized in the design of the system and to establish the performance criterion. The missile is assumed to be a beam rider, to have a g limiter, and to operate over a flight envelope where the open-loop gain varies by a factor of 20. It is shown that the percent of time that missile acceleration limiting occurs can be used effectively to adjust the coefficients of the Wiener filter. The result is a guidance system which adapts itself to a changing environment and gives essentially optimum filtering and minimum miss distance.

The use of the chatter mode in self-adaptive systems

Chatter mode is used advantageously if the ideal model dynamics is described by a switching function, the chatter mode is reached quickly and then sustained, the chatter frequency is reduced, and any zero in the plant transfer function is cancelled.
