This short communication discusses two recently proposed terrain-tracking schemes, reformulates both schemes as special cases of previously proposed optimal aim strategy, outlines a more precise and explicit continuous-time control law based on a fixed-point neural network, describes a more rapid and effective discrete-time control law based on a fixed-point iteration process, and derives criteria for matching reference models to the dynamical characteristics of individual systems.
