New guidance laws derived for a dual-control missile are studied. Their performance is compared with that of a conventional guidance system with flight control that distributes the commands among the two control channels. A Monte Carlo simulation study is performed where the target executes random evasive manoeuvres. The interceptor, represented by linear high-order manoeuvring dynamics with bounded forward and aft controls, acquires noisy measurements and uses a state estimator. Using the single-shot kill probability as a performance criterion, the superiority of the new guidance and control architecture is shown. It is also shown that the best performance is obtained by the bounded controls differential game guidance law. Sensitivity to the selection of the interceptor first-order time constant, a design parameter in the guidance law derivation, is also investigated.
