Minimum Energy Control of a Bilinear Pursuit-Evasion System.
Abstract
A two-dimensional missile intercept system is formulated as a bilinear pursuit-evasion problem. The minimum energy control of this problem is discussed and analyzed together with the singularly perturbed problem. It is shown that the optimal control appears in a constant form which can be solved explicitly from the boundary conditions. The terminal intercept condition can be achieved provided the area swept out by a given controller sustains a certain constant value. A least squares estimation scheme for the target speed and the relative heading is developed for the case where the target turn rate is a known constant. (Author)
