Bang–Bang Evasion: Its Stochastic Optimality and a Terminal-Set-Based Implementation

We address the problem of optimal evasion in a planar endgame engagement, where a target with bounded lateral acceleration seeks to avoid interception by a missile guided by a linear feedback law. Contrary to existing approaches that assume perfect information or use heuristic ma...

Comprehensive Approach to Directly Addressing Estimation Delays in Stochastic Guidance

In realistic pursuit–evasion scenarios, abrupt target maneuvers generate unavoidable periods of elevated uncertainty that result in estimation delays. Such delays can degrade interception performance to the point of causing a miss. Existing delayed-information guidance laws fail...
