Summary During FY14, the following tasks will be performed:
Formulate the pursuit guidance and control problem by incorporating lateral motions as well the longitudinal dynamics. Nomoto's model will be used for the lateral motions and a first order lag will be used to model longitudinal dynamics. We expect that longitudinal dynamics will complicate the stability conditions, resulting in multiple stability criteria.
Develop a model suitable for multiobjective optimization utilizing genetic algorithms.
