Due to the growing interest in missiles with long-range high maneuverability and
precision, the bank-to-turn (BTT) steering technique has become more and more
popular as compared with the traditional skid-to-turn (STT) method [199, 52]. By
orienting the maximum aerodynamic normal force to the desired direction rapidly
with a substantially large roll rate, the BTT missile exhibits many advantages over
