Engagement kinematics
Relative position, relative velocity, LOS angle, and LOS angular rate, with explicit mappings between inertial and LOS frames.
Chapter planned →Theory map
Start from kinematics.
Skip no essential step.
The theory section strictly separates kinematics, dynamics, and guidance-law construction, while marking exact results, approximations, linearizations, and engineering simplifications.
Classical guidance
Proportional navigation, its assumptions, dimensional analysis, limiting cases, and discrete implementation.
Chapter planned →Terminal constraints
Unified definitions and error metrics for impact angle, arrival time, and multiple terminal constraints.
Chapter planned →Nonlinear methods
Sliding mode, finite-time stability, backstepping, and nonlinear control structures.
Chapter planned →Cooperative guidance
Shared time variables, communication assumptions, synchronization metrics, and multi-vehicle scenarios.
Chapter planned →Learning-based methods
Data distributions, baseline fairness, generalization tests, and safety constraints.
