Abstract

This paper addresses guidance of ramjet vehiclesto minimize propellant consumption along the ascendingtrajectory. An extension of the poweredexplicit guidance (PEG) algorithm is proposed to(a) incorporate parameter estimation of velocityto be gained and the burn time under unknownthrust profile, and (b) take into account aerodynamicforces on the vehicle flying at supersonicspeed, while taking advantage of fuel efficiencyof linear tangent-based approaches. Numericalsimulations demonstrate feasibility of the proposedapproach.
