A new and practical terminal guidance law is presented for impact angle control for two-dimensional active homing engagement scenarios. Impact angle control is required to enhance terminal effectiveness of antitank and antiship missile systems in particular. The proposed guidance law is developed to cope with missile velocity reduction due to aerodynamic drag and target maneuver. In actual applications, the proposed guidance law is combined in cascade with a target tracking filter under the certainty equivalence principle. The proposed guidance law in conjunction with the target tracking filter is shown to be effective in antiship active homing engagement scenarios by a series of Monte Carlo simulation runs.
