| Abstract |
Target pointing guidance steers a vehicle to point at a target point at a given range Rs. In this paper, vehicle's motions relative to the target point are modeled by differential equations. Then a target pointing guidance law is derived using optimal control theories. In addition, it is shown that the proposed guidance law can achieve the goal of target pointing guidance whatever initial headings are. |
