Linear Coupled Grouping Cooperative Guidance Law with Communication Delay

Development of guidance laws with communication delays for engineering applications is important. Herein, we propose a design method for linear coupled delay grouping cooperative guidance law. Specifically, the grouping cooperative terminal guidance is transformed into a nonlinear group consensus problem. Then, using the directed spanning tree hypothesis, the grouping cooperative guidance law is derived analytically. The disk theorem is adopted to demonstrate the consensus of the proposed grouping cooperative guidance law. And the effectiveness of the group cooperative terminal guidance law under communication delay is verified through simulation.
