Agile Turn Control for Air-to-Air Missile Based on Reaction Jet Control System

Abstract:

This paper focuses on agile turn control for air-to-air missile flying in the horizontal plane. The attitude dynamics is discussed and variable structure control (VSC) method for attitude control is analyzed. After analysis of the dynamic function about velocity angle, a staged control method using VSC based on reaction jet control system (RCS) is proposed to achieve fast change of velocity direction and attitude in a short time. The simplex method is used for trajectory optimization. The simulation results show the feasibility of the staged control method which makes the missile turn faster than the situation of attitude control method. The new method demonstrates that RCS is able to control the missile to realize 180°change both for the velocity angle and attitude angle.
