Abstract

A class of proportional navigation guidance laws is derived via an approximation of time-to-go and a transformation of state variables. The optimal guidance problem is developed in polar coordinates. This problem is shown to decompose into two decoupled optimal control problems, where a closed-form control solution is available in the radial direction and a time-varying linear dynamics system is solved for control in the transverse direction.
