Abstract

In order to realize a saturation attack of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the same target, the problem is transformed into one of multiple UAVs hitting the same target simultaneously, and a terminal distributed cooperative guidance law for multiple UAVs based on consistency theory is proposed. First, a new time-to-go estimation method is proposed, which is more accurate than the existing methods when the leading angle is large. Second, a non-singular sliding mode guidance law (NSMG) of impact time control with equivalent control term and switching control term is designed, which still appears to have excellent performance even if the initial leading angle is zero. Then, based on the predicted crack point strategy, the NSMG law is extended to attack maneuvering targets. Finally, adopting hierarchical cooperative guidance architecture, a terminal distributed cooperative guidance law based on consistency theory is designed. Numerical simulation results verify that the terminal distributed cooperative guidance law is not only applicable to different forms of communication topology, but also effective in the case of communication topology switching.
