A multi-year research effort to develop and validate a feedback algorithm for medium range air-to-air interceptions with realistic capture conditions, compatible with the deployment of advanced guided weapons in a future air combat scenario is summarized. Previous work is reviewed and new results are presented. The proposed guidance algorithm is based on the application of singular perturbation techniques. The examples included, featuring both previous generation (F-4) and state of the art (F-15) fighter aircraft models, demonstrate the structural robustness of the feedback guidance laws. The hierarchical structure of the algorithm, the explicit feedback form of the control laws and the validated high accuracy, make the algorithm a very attractive candidate for a real time implementation on board a future interceptor aircraft.
