Abstract

Supercavitating vehicles (SV) are a class of high-speed autonomous underwater vessels. They present a great challenge in designing the guidance law in comparison with the traditional autonomous underwater vehicles. This is due to the fact that their constraints and working environment are much more complex. To tackle the above challenge, an optimal nonlinear midcourse guidance logic is proposed by considering the wake terminal guidance and the remote target attack tasks. The proposed guidance logic is optimized by using an efficient genetic algorithm to obtain its optimal parameters. The results from our simulation case study suggest that the proposed guidance logic can meet both the motion requirements and navigation constraints while effectively cooperating with the wake terminal guidance. Moreover, it has potential in reducing the energy consumption to significantly improve the overall vehicle energy efficiency.
