Abstract: A vector field-based guidance law is proposed for the speed and impact angle control of an unpowered, glide-capable air-to-ground munition. An artificial 3-D space is designed for the glider vehicle to satisfy the terminal constraints. The glider vehicle is guided to the target position by the proposed vector field-based guidance law while satisfying the desired impact angle and final speed constraints. In the numerical simulations, various wind conditions are considered to demonstrate the performance of the proposed guidance law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
