Correction-Efficiency-Coefficient-Based Trajectory Optimization for Two-Dimensional Trajectory Correction Projectile

Based on the lift-to-drag ratio of a two-dimensional trajectory correction projectile, in this paper, a novel correction efficiency coefficient model has been proposed for the trajectory optimization of a two-dimensional trajectory correction projectile, and research on the influence a correction efficiency coefficient has on the flight parameters of correction trajectory is carried out. A series of results are obtained through theoretical analysis and simulation calculations, indicating that, the smaller the value of the correction efficiency coefficient is, the stronger the correction ability of the projectile reserves. The trajectory and canard geometry of the correction section of the two-dimensional trajectory correction projectile are optimized by the Gauss pseudo-spectral method and correction efficiency coefficient, and, after taking the correction efficiency coefficient into account, the projectile can accurately hit the target and effectively eliminate the swing phenomenon of the projectile’s lateral trajectory. Meanwhile, a stable roll control command is obtained. When the diameter aspect ratio of the canard is 0.4, both the flight state quantity of the optimized projectile and the roll control command are more stable, and, when the canard shape is trapezoidal, the correction efficiency coefficient is smaller, the result of trajectory optimization is more stable, and the stability of the output roll control command is better. The research results of this paper can provide certain references for both the designs of the two-dimensional trajectory correction projectile’s trajectory and the canard geometry.
