A new precision guidance law with impact angle constraint for a two-dimensional planar intercept is presented. It is based on the principle of following a circular arc to the target, hence the name circular navigation guidance. The guidance law does not require range-to-target information. We prove that it attains a perfect intercept under certain ideal conditions. In a broader range of conditions, it is shown to perform favorably when compared to another law from the literature. I.
