Guidance and Control Laws in Three Body Pursuit

Designing controller for two teams- one with an attacker and the other with a target and defender.

Guide: Prof. Dwaipayan Mukherjee, IIT Bombay.

  • Developed strategies for an attacking missile to capture a target while evading a defender missile
  • Formulating the problem as a safety-critical system with the application of Zeroing and Reciprocal Control Barrier functions to guarantee safety from the defender
  • Developing new guidance law which maximizes performance and ensures safety using quadratic programming after analysis of existing and widely used laws for missile guidance
Controller simulation based on safety constraints inforced using a barrier function and solved as an quadratic program.
