Hi there!
So a couple of months ago I worked on “Proportional Navigation”, a missile guidance system used for the AIM-9 missile system. The project itself took more than I expected, mostly due to studying the different forms of ProNav. I would also like to thank Addmix for the help, he guided me in the right direction and helped me so much!
So I categorized these videos by a navigational constant N, which is used to tell the onboard computer how much to multiply the turn rate. N is usually set as a whole number from 2-5. It does somewhat affect intercept time.
In blue is the Missile, in Red is the target (could be an aircraft or something)
N = 3
N = 4
N=5
And here I give the target a bit of angular velocity, to imitate an evasion manoeuvre. Here I set it to N=4.
