Cooperative guidance for multiple flight vehicles with input saturation

Cooperative guidance for multiple flight vehicles against single moving target is studied in this paper. Two finite-time consensus protocols are developed for multi-agent system with input saturation which underlay the design of cooperative guidance law. The cooperative guidance approaches are investigated to solve the many-to-one interception problem, where two novel guidance laws considering the actuator saturation are proposed to guarantee multiple flight vehicles can intercept the target simultaneously. Simulations for a three-to-one scenario are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design approaches.
