Muhtasari	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.	The Dubins path is the shortest curve connecting two points in the plane with prescribed initial and terminal tangent directions, subject to a constraint on curvature. Introduced by Lester Dubins in 1957, it solved a fundamental problem in differential geometry and became essential in motion planning for aircraft, helicopters, and autonomous vehicles. A Dubins path consists of circular arcs and straight line segments arranged in a sequence such as RSR (Right-Straight-Right) or LSL (Left-Straight-Left).
