Abstract
In this paper we shall outline a technique using Liapunov functions and sufficiency conditions to estimate the winning region for a three-phase missile entering its coast phase. We shall use point-mass dynamics with variable mass to model the missile trajectories in three dimensions. We will then use this estimated winning region to provide a procedure whereby we can judge the robustness of a particular three dimensional guidance law when one or more of its parameters has bounds imposed upon it. This technique effectively establishes a benchmark against which guidance laws with different bounds upon their parameters can be compared. We shall then give an example using a pursuit-evasion scenario between an AMRAAM AIM-120A missile and a F-15E “Strike Eagle” fighter.
