High-speed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are more and more widely used in both military and civil fields at present, especially the missile swarm attack, and will play an irreplaceable key role in the future war as a special combat mode. This study summarizes the guidance and control methods of missile swarm attack operation. First, the traditional design ideas of the guidance and control system are introduced; then, the typical swarm attack guidance and control methods are analyzed by taking their respective characteristics into considering, and the limitations of the traditional design methods are given. On this basis, the study focuses on the advantages of intelligent integrated guidance and control design over traditional design ideas, summarizes the commonly used integrated guidance and control design methods and their applications, and explores the cooperative attack strategy of missile swarm suitable for the integrated guidance and control system. Finally, the challenges of missile swarm guidance and control are described, and the problems worthy of further research in the future are prospected. Summarizing the guidance and control methods of missile will contribute to the innovative research in this field, so as to promote the rapid development of unmanned swarm attack technology.

Angle penetration attack ability plays a more and more important role for missiles in modern warfare, and the traditional separate guidance and control system design problem is the key to restrict the improvement of time-sensitive attack and cooperative attack ability of multimissiles. Firstly, the deviation control strategy of line-of-sight angle and attack angle is put forward in this paper, and the integrated guidance and control system model with impact angle constraint is established, according to the characteristics of angle penetration attack. Then, an integrated guidance and control controller for angle penetration attack is designed by using adaptive dynamic surface control, with the dynamic constraints, nonlinear input saturation, and terminal line-of-sight and attack angle constraints concerned. In order to ensure the robustness of the system, nonlinear disturbance observers are introduced to estimate the uncertainty of the system model. Finally, the stability of the integrated design method is proven based on the Lyapunov theory. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the integrated guidance and control design method proposed in this paper in multimissile angle penetration attack.

Autonomous anticollision of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is one of the key technologies to realize intelligent decision-making and autonomous control, and it is of great significance to improve the flight safety and survivability of UAV in complex environment. Firstly, the UAV autonomous anticollision system configuration is constructed in this paper, and the UAV autonomous anticollision problem and related models are described. Then, the potential collision conflict prediction rules are defined, and a practical three-dimensional collision conflict prediction method is proposed. Finally, the UAV autonomous avoidance decision-making method is designed by using the optimization theory, and the corresponding simple and feasible flight control law is put forward. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed method can ensure the flight safety of UAV by relying on autonomous decision-making and control strategy, so as to realize the autonomous anticollision between a single UAV and non-cooperative dynamic obstacles in three-dimensional airspace.
