Predefined-time prescribed performance guidance law design against maneuvering target under input saturation

Abstract

Abstract A novel SMC-based prescribed performance guidance law combined with a base generator (TBG) is proposed. A TBG-based modified Lyapunov function is first proposed, which ensures that the LOS tracking error converges into zero within a predefined time. A novel sliding manifold with adjusting convergent time property is proposed, which brings about a smaller control magnitude and predefined time convergent rate. To ensure a satisfied transit and steady performance, some converted variables are defined based on which a novel prescribed performance guidance law is constructed. The input saturation problem is properly solved by designing a novel TBG-based one-order auxiliary system. Extensive simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
