| Abstract: |
| Recently, there has been renewed interest in the development of battle tanks armoring, which made old generations of anti-tank missiles are no longer able to counteract modern tanks by hitting armor in the front or side sections of the tank. Recent developments directed toward designing the antitank missiles to hit the tank from the upper ceiling which considered one of the weakest points in the armoring the tank. The new generations of anti-tank missiles are developed with the ability of hitting tanks from its upper section (top-attack). So, the work in this paper, focuses on developing the antitank missile guidance law to generate a top-attack trajectory considering (impact angle, missile maneuverability, limits of seeker’s gimbal, miss distance… etc.) constraints, the accuracy of the generated trajectory is evaluated through two main parameters impact angle and miss distance, a polynomial function based trajectory is proposed for achieving minimum miss distance and suitable impact angle to ensure maximum destruction probability. Further extended analysis is carried out for evaluating missile motion parameters (Angle-of-attack, Euler angles, Normal acceleration… etc.) via 6-DOF model. The proposed algorithm is simulated utilizing Matlab/Simulink with different scenarios, whereas the developed algorithm achieves sufficient accuracy for hitting the designated target with minimum miss distance and required impact angle constraint. |
