Abstract

The problem of time-optical guidance design for the low-altitude, subsonic, vertical plane approach of a sensing air vehicle to a fixed final point is studied using a nonlinear, constrained, optimal control problem formulation. Multiple, competing optimization criteria are included as state equality constraints for design trade-off analysis. A sensor line-of-sight (LOS) limit is adjoined to the system Hamiltonian as a control/state variable inequality constraint to provide a sensor performance influence on the guidance design. Numerical results are provided that illustrate the optimal guidance, the sensor LOS environment along the optimal maneuver, and the influence of the sensor limit on the guidance law design.
