Abstract

The integrated design method for a missile guidance and control system is such that all the limitations of the subsystems are taken into account during the design in a bid to increase the accuracy and overall performance of the system in the final phase. This will improve efficiency, save time and implementation cost, and as a result, system performance will improve. This article describes the process of designing and simulating the performance of the neural sliding model controller, which was created to guide the missile in a two-dimensional engagement in minimizing the collision time and the miss distance to the target. In the design of the controller, a PID is first considered to evaluate the proposed controller, followed by the design of the neural sliding model controller discussed using neural networks. According to the simulations, it can be shown that the use of this proposed controller and the application of the integrated guidance and control model will reduce the final miss distance and the collision time compared to the PID controller.
