This article proposes sliding-mode-control-based guidance strategies for a team comprised of aircraft and a defending interceptor against an attacker. The proposed guidance strategies are based on the line-of-sight guidance concept. Problems such as performance degradation under large heading angle errors, arising from linearization of engagement dynamics, are circumvented due to the nonlinear framework considered here. We show that knowledge of the bound on attacker acceleration suffices to ensure interception of an attacking interceptor. Cooperative strategies are derived for the aircraft–defender team, corresponding to cost functions based on the $\ell _p$ norm, using static optimization at each time instant. Simulations validate the efficacy of the proposed strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
