The paper aims to provide further study on the development and analysis of flight control system for two-dimensional (2D) differential geometric (DG) guidance and control system based on the application of a set-point weighting proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller.

    Design/methodology/approach

    The commanded angle-of-attack is developed in the time domain using the classical differential geometry theory. Then, a set-point weighting PID controller is introduced to develop a flight control system so as to form the 2D DG guidance and control system, and the gains of the PID controller are determined by the Ziegler-Nichols method as well as the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion. Finally, the classical frequency method is utilized to study the relative stability and robustness of the designed flight control system.

    Findings

    The results demonstrate that the designed controller yields a fast responding and stable system which is robust to the high frequency parameters variation. Moreover, the DG guidance law is viable and effective in a realistic missile defense engagement.

    Originality/value

    This paper provides a novel approach on the development of DG guidance and control system associated with its stability analysis.
