Estimation and guidance for manoeuvring targets

The rigorous development in the field of highly manoeuvrable threats gives a huge platform to find the efficient integrated estimation and guidance algorithms. In the present day technology, various kinds of threats are getting advanced day by day. For example ballistic missiles with time varying parameters or low flying cruise missile. Successful intercepting these kinds of highly manoeuvrable targets demands high performance at the end phase. Achieving zero miss distance is a challenge in case of highly manoeuvrable targets. In this paper one of the efficient estimation technique Kalman filtering and guidance algorithm, two dimensional Proportional Navigation law are discussed. Future work of this research is detailed.
