Zmodyfikowana metoda proporcjonalnego naprowadzania pocisków w poziomej płaszczyźnie zbliżenia

Mirosław Glapski

On consideration of limitations to the proportional navigation, have been considered of making the homing-in process more efficient. From an analysis of the unperturbed motion of a missiles with a variable mass and a variable velocity
and being homed-in in the horizontal approach-plane, a conclusion has been formulated on the need of rendering the factor (constant) of proportionality variable. The advantages of such of solution have been demonstrated. The considerations have been illustrated by the numeric examples.
