Patent ID: 7487933

Claim:
A processing structure configured in one or more processors for generating a vehicle command for an intercept, the processing structure comprising: a target acceleration blocking filter (TABF), configured in the one or more processors, wherein the TABF is adapted to receive one or more measures of at least one of: a first bearing angle, a second bearing angle, relative range and relative range rate; and wherein the TABF is adapted to estimate a state vector comprising at least one relative position component and at least one relative velocity component and wherein the TABF is adapted to block a dynamic effect of unmeasured target acceleration; a game theoretic guidance law (GTGL), configured in the one or more processors, comprising a gain matrix generated for an anticipated worst possible target acceleration solution, wherein the GTGL is adapted to generate an acceleration command based on the estimated state vector and one or more values selected from the gain matrix according to a time-to-go value; and means for outputting a generated vehicle acceleration command signal.
