Abstract
The command to line-of-sight (CLOS) guidance is known to require very high acceleration commands as the distance between a missile and its t arget becomes closer. Therefore, the CLOS is generally used for midcou rse guidance. In order to use the CLOS for homing, an additional feedf orward acceleration command (FFC) is necessary. In this correspondence an improved CLOS (ICLOS) technique which includes FFC is proposed. It s performance improvement is demonstrated by applying the technique to a surface to air missile (SAM).
