This paper presents an impact angle control guidance law that confines the missile look angle during homing in order to not exceed a seeker's field-of-view limit. A sliding surface variable whose regulation guarantees the interception of a stationary target at the desired impact angle is designed, and the guidance law is derived to make the surface variable go to the sliding mode. Using a magnitude-limited sigmoid function in the surface variable, the proposed law prohibits the look angle from exceeding the specified limit during the entire homing. This capability to confine the missile look angle is valuable when a seeker's field-of-view is restricted, since imposing the terminal impact angle constraint demands the missile to fly a curved trajectory. Furthermore, the proposed law can be implemented under bearings-only measurements because the command does not involve any information of the relative range and line-of-sight rate. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed law. The result shows that the proposed guidance law accomplishes the impact angle constraint without violating the prescribed look angle limit although it only uses the information of bearing angles.
