Optimal Guidance Law Trajectory Simulation for Engaging Maneuvering Targets

This MATLAB-based simulation implements optimal guidance laws for engaging maneuvering targets. The software models missile trajectory dynamics, incorporating target motion patterns and guidance system responses. Users can simulate various engagement scenarios to analyze target movement characteristics and behavioral patterns. The implementation includes algorithms for proportional navigation guidance (PNG) and advanced optimal control strategies, using MATLAB's ODE solvers for trajectory integration and optimization toolboxes for guidance law refinement. Simulation results can be systematically analyzed and evaluated to optimize engagement strategies and improve hit probability. The system incorporates Monte Carlo simulation capabilities for statistical performance assessment under different target maneuver conditions. Key functions include trajectory visualization, miss distance calculation, and guidance system parameter tuning. Through this simulation platform, users can thoroughly understand the performance characteristics and practical applications of optimal guidance laws, thereby enhancing operational implementation capabilities in real-world scenarios. The codebase supports modular design, allowing for easy integration of different guidance algorithms and target maneuver models.
