Study on guidance approaches of hypersonic glide-cruise vehicle during cruise and attack phases

Hypersonic glide-cruise vehicle is a new concept craft which glides with hypersonic velocity, and can cruise at a constant height apart from the ground recur to the engine. In the paper two guidance approaches of this craft are studied during cruise and attack phases respectively. Based on the established dynamics model, a novel guidance approach for cruise state holding and bank-to-turn control when passing through the waypoints is proposed. The optimal transformative proportion guidance law is adopted during the attack phase. The approaches studied are validated with a three-dimension simulation programme, and all war indexes requirements are meet.
