Abstract In this paper, a new guidancelaw known as the all-aspect proportional navigation (AAPN) guidancelaw is formulated. AAPN is a modification of traditional proportionalnavigation, with an additional term added to improve performanceat large heading error angles. The missile guidance problem isfirst formulated as an optimal control problem and solved usinga combined genetic algorithm-shooting method. The problem isrepeatedly solved at various heading error angles. By employingChebychev polynomial fitting, we can then determine the parametersof the AAPN. Subsequently, AAPN is compared against the proportionalnavigation guidance law as well as the optimal solution. Theresults clearly show that AAPN outperforms PN at large headingerror angles. Also, its performance is only slightly inferiorto the optimal solution.
