Guidance Law Design via Variable Structure Control with Finite Time Sliding Sector

摘要

A new guidance law utilizing variable structure control with finite time sliding sector is proposed. First, a finite time sliding sector is defined. The finite time sliding sector is a subset of state space in which the Lyapunov function candidate satisfies the finite time stability condition, in contrast to the commonly used notion of asymptotic stability in conventional sliding sector. Then, based on the finite time sliding sector, a sliding sector control law is designed to move the system state in to the sector in finite time. The target acceleration is considered as an uncertainty. The proposed sliding sector guidance law is derived by supposing the target acceleration upper bound can be estimated as a priori. Simulation results show that the new guidance law is highly effective.
