Abstract :The success of homing missiles is dependent on the selected guidance law. As per their structures, the guidance laws have different performance characteristics. Namely, the linear homing guidance law results in smaller terminal miss distance than the proportional navigation guidance law. However, its maximum lateral acceleration requirement is higher. In this study, a switching algorithm is proposed to take the advantages of a selected set of guidance laws by applying on a short-range missile used in air-to-surface operations. As per the results of the simulations carried on the computer, it is witnessed that the switching scheme yields satisfactory terminal miss distance values. Moreover, the maximum acceleration need is reduced for the missile especially when its autopilot operates at a constant bandwidth value.
