Abstract

tanks armoring, which made old generations of anti-tank missiles are
no longer able to counteract modern tanks by hitting armor in the front
or the side sections of the tank. Recent developments directed toward
designing the antitank missiles to hit the tank from the upper ceiling
which is considered one of the weakest points in the tank armor. The
new generations of anti-tank missiles are developed with the ability
to hit tanks from its upper section (top-attack). So, the current article
focuses on developing the antitank missile guidance law to generate a
top-attack trajectory considering (impact angle, missile maneuverability,
miss distance) constraints. The accuracy of the generated trajectory is
evaluated through two main parameters, impact angle and miss distance,
a polynomial function based trajectory is proposed. Further extended
analysis is carried out for evaluating missile motion parameters via a
6-DOF model. The proposed algorithm is simulated utilizing Matlab/
Simulink with different scenarios.
