We suggest a first-order model to distinguish between nose control (canards) and tail control. We present optimal guidance strategies and demonstrate the superiority of nose control. This simple model enables us to develop simple and robust guidance strategies based on three approaches: unconstrained optimal control, constrained optimal control, and constrained differential games. It turns out that nose control requires low gain and is capable of forcing small miss distance in the presence of a maneuvering target.
