This study addresses the cooperative control problem of multi‐missile systems. It proposed a two‐stage control strategy, aiming at simultaneous attack from a group of missiles at a static target. The first stage adopts a special distributed consensus protocol in order for all missiles to asymptotically achieve a consensus of states. During the second stage, the local sightline control law allows the missiles to independently reach the target. The dynamic equation of the missile agent is normalised to a quasi‐double‐integrator model which is convenient for designing the consensus protocol. The proposed strategy is suitable for missiles of different speeds that have been self‐organised without air operations centres. Two convincing simulation results are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
