Navigation constants in PNG law and the associated optimal control problems

PNG의 항법상수와 이와 관련된 최적제어 문제

In this paper, we show that various navigation constant values in PNG law can result in as optimal gains when we introduce proper time-varying weighting functions into the cost function of an optimal control problem. we then apply this idea to the guidance problem where we are required to achieve a given impact angle as well as the zero miss distance. As a result, we obtain a set of optimal guidance laws each of which could be related to a navigation constant in PNG. Some basic properties of these guidance laws are also presented.
