Description: Optimal Control Theory is revised. A minimum time control rule for a third regulator is found. A third order missile model is developed. Minimum time control is applied to the fast reaction missile defense problem. The results are compared with Proportional Navigation. The states controlled in the minimum time application are the derivatives of Line-of-Sight angle and the vertical distance and derivatives between missile and the target.
