In this study, an adaptive impact-time-control cooperative guidance law based on deep reinforcement learning considering field-of-view (FOV) constraints is proposed for high-speed UAVs with time-varying velocity. Firstly, a reinforcement learning framework for the high-speed UAVs’ guidance problem is established. The optimization objective is to maximize the impact velocity; and the constraints for impact time, dive attacking, and FOV are considered simultaneously. The time-to-go estimation method is improved so that it can be applied to high-speed UAVs with time-varying velocity. Then, in order to improve the applicability and robustness of the agent, environmental uncertainties, including aerodynamic parameter errors, observation noise, and target random maneuvers, are incorporated into the training process. Furthermore, inspired by the RL 2 algorithm, the recurrent layer is introduced into both the policy and value network. In this way, the agent can automatically adapt to different mission scenarios by updating the hidden states of the recurrent layer. In addition, a compound reward function is designed to train the agent to satisfy the requirements of impact-time control and dive attack simultaneously. Finally, the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed guidance law are validated through numerical simulations conducted across a wide range of scenarios.
