            Abstract : 
In this paper, we analyze the capture region, time to go, cost and impact angle of a classical pure proportional navigation guidance law. Unlike the traditional ways adopted by most of the researchers, the angle of relative velocity is used in this work as the independent variable instead. Through this approach an analytical solution of cost and impact angle can be obtained. Furthermore, the time to go for a stationary target is also derived.
