Interception problems are often dealt with by separating guidance and autopilot design. Guidance law can be obtained using optimal control theory and autopilot design is performed on a linearized system. In this paper, we introduce a new approach that determines a global guidance and autopilot law, based on direct output feedback design. Application of this method to exoatmospheric interception problem results in good performances. Extension to endoatmospheric case is under investigation.
