In the absence of the upper bound of time-varying target acceleration, the finite-time-convergent guidance (FTCG) problem for\nmissile is addressed in this paper. Firstly, a novel adaptive finite-time disturbance observer (AFDO) is developed based on adaptivegain\nsuper twisting (ASTW) algorithm to estimate the unknown target acceleration. Subsequently, a new FTCG law is proposed\nby using the output of AFDO. The newly proposed FTCG law has several advantages over existing FTCG laws. First, for timevarying\ntarget acceleration, the proposed method can strictly guarantee the trajectory of the closed-loop system is driven onto\nthe sliding surface rather than a neighbourhood of sliding surface in the extended-state-observer-based FTCG (ESOFTCG) law.\nSecond, the proposed method requires no upper bound information on the target acceleration. Third, the chattering problem in\nthe conventional FTCG (CFTCG) law is completely avoided in this paper. Simulation result demonstrates the effectiveness of the\nproposed AFDO and the proposed FTCG law.
