A coopera-tive guidance model is proposed, transforming the cooperative interception problem into a consensus problem based on the remaining flight time of the flight vehicles. First, the impact angle constraint is converted into the line of sight (LOS) angle con-straint, and a new fixed-time convergent non-singular terminal sliding surface is introduced, which resolves the singularity issue of the traditional sliding surfaces. With this approach, LOS angle rate and normal overloads can converge in fixed time, ensuring that the upper bound of the system convergence time is not affected by the initial value of the system. Furthermore, the maneuvering movement of the target is considered as a system disturbance, and an extended state observer is employed to estimate and compensate for it in the guidance law. Lastly, by applying consensus theory and distributed communication topology, the remaining flight time of each flight vehicle is syn-chronized to ensure that they intercept the target simulta-neously with different impact angles. Simulation experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed cooper-ative interception and guidance method.展开更多
