Abstract :
In this paper, the state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) control method is used to design a guidance law for the midcourse phase of flight of a hypersonic vehicle. The guidance law converts flight path angle and heading angle commands to angle of attack and bank angle commands for input to an attitude autopilot
