A potential missile guidance law based-on chaos

Abstract

An important field of research in defense-related technology is the design of guidance laws. A guided missile is generally challenging to intercept if its trajectory becomes unpredictable. In this short communication, we have discussed a possible application of the chaos theory in developing an advanced guided missile, where the guidance law is based upon a robust chaotic map. This type of guided missile may be almost impossible to intercept by existing missile defense systems due to its unpredictable trajectory.
