In this paper, a novel scheme of command to line-of-sight guidance law regarding the outstanding practical limitations is proposed. With the aid of formulating problem in pursuer's line of sight frame, the exact feed-forward acceleration commands are derived for a general target motion in three-dimensional engagement geometry. Then, a nonlinear control scheme constructed from feed-forward terms along with a nested saturated feedback strategy is suggested. Two momentous practical limitations are considered. The first is related to existence of pursuer's acceleration saturation which is ignored in all existing solutions. The required conditions to insure the global stability are derived...

A new hybrid fuzzy adaptive algorithm for tracking maneuvering targets is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is implemented with fuzzy inference system (FIS) and current statistical model and adaptive Altering (CSMAF). The CSMAF algorithm is one of most effective methods for tracking the maneuvering targets. It has a higher precision in tracking the maneuvering targets with larger accelerations while it has a lower precision in tracking the maneuvering targets with smaller acceleration. In the proposed algorithm, to overcome the disadvantage of the CSMAF algorithm, the covariance of process noise CSMAF is adjusted adaptively by the output of a FIS. The input of the FIS is discrepancy of... 

In this paper, terminal engagement of a maneuvering target and a pursuer is investigated. A heuristic nonlinear model predictive guidance algorithm is presented. Nonlinear kinematics of the pursuer and the target is utilized to formulate the guidance problem. Also, the target maneuver is assumed to be unknown. The proposed heuristic guidance algorithm uses an ant-based optimization algorithm to estimate simultaneously the states of the pursuer, the maneuver of the target, and the optimal guidance commands. Performance of the new guidance algorithm against maneuvering and non-maneuvering targets is evaluated using numerical simulations. Also, the results of the guidance algorithm are compared...
