ABSTRACT

The dif–culty in analysis of differential equations with time-varying coef-–cients describing linearized models of guidance systems does not allow researchers to obtain analytical expressions for miss distance that can be effectively used in practice. As mentioned in [10], “the disadvantage of the single time constant representation of a missile guidance system is that the miss distance can be seriously underestimated.” The same remark can also be applied to the binomial representation [6,10].
