Intercepting into Non-Maneuvering Targets with Desired Impact Angle Using Second Order Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Guidance

Second order non-singular terminal sliding mode guidance for intercepting with desired impact angle in terminal phase is proposed in this paper. In order to satisfy the predefined impact angle and interception into target, a non-singular terminal sliding variable is introduced using line of sight angle error and line of sight angular rate. In reaching phase, second order sliding mode guidance law is designed in order to zeroing the sliding variable. Then in sliding phase, due to introducing non-singular terminal sliding variable, finite time stability of line of sight angle and line of sight angular rate is grantee without singularity in commanded acceleration as control signal. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the potential of the proposed guidance law
