Abstract:
1. A method of guiding a pursuer to a target, the method comprising: (a) providing a plurality of possible target trajectories, weighted to represent a probability distribution of the target trajectories; (b) providing a plurality of candidate guidance controls, parameterised by a candidate guidance parameter; (c) for each of a plurality of values of the candidate guidance parameter: (d) generating a revised plurality of values of the candidate guidance parameter in view of the recorded costs of the candidate guidance controls; (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) a plurality of times and identifying an optimal guidance control based on the recorded costs; (f) applying the optimal guidance control to the pursuer to alter its actual trajectory; (g) obtaining updated possible target trajectories; and (h) repeating steps (b) to (g) a plurality of times.
