Proportional Navigation
Proportional Navigation (PN) is a guidance law that generates command accelerations proportional to the rate of change of the line-of-sight angle between a pursuer and target. Introduced by Lin-Hsiung Chu in the 1950s, it became the foundation of modern missile guidance systems. PN solves the pursuit-evasion problem by ensuring that the pursuer intercepts a moving target with minimal computational overhead.
