Abstract

This paper presents the unified cooperative strategies for the salvo attack of multiple missiles on the basis of the traditional proportional navigation (PN) algorithm. The cooperative guidance laws are developed in a quite simple formulation consisting of a PN component for target capture and a coordination component for simultaneous arrival. The centralized coordination algorithms have better performance when the global information of time-to-go can be obtained by each missile, whereas the decentralized coordination algorithms come into effect when the group member is only able to collect information from its neighbors. The cooperative strategies can achieve a simultaneous attack against both stationary and maneuvering targets. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate that the proposed approaches are feasible and flexible for the salvo attack of multiple missiles. The capturability analyses of the cooperative guidance laws are also performed by discussing the selection of gain parameters.
