Exoatmospheric DACS Type Missile Controller Based on Sliding Mode Control Considering the Seeker’s Field-of-View Limit

A sliding mode based controller for the divert and attitude control system (DACS) type exoatmospheric missile is designed considering the narrow field-of-view of the strapdown seeker to achieve two objectives: to generate the accelerations corresponding to the guidance command and to maintain the lock-on condition.
