Keywords: over the shoulder, guidance scheme, compound guidance

A new guidance scheme, called bearingcorrected guidance with incomplete target information, or shortly bearing-corrected guidance, is proposed for Over the Shoulder (OTS) control procedure. The OTS here is designed for a typical compound guidance, which consists of the programmed guidance phase, inertial and data link guidance phase, and homing phase. The bearing-corrected guidance is introduced to the first two phases that are essential for a successful OTS. Lots of comparative simulation experiments and related analyses have been conducted. It has been shown that the bearing-corrected guidance offers a new promise for the OTS.
