A)STRACT
In the modern day theatre of combat, the need to be able to strike at targets that are on
 the opposite side of the globe has strongly presented itself. This had led to the
  development of various types of guided missiles. These guided missiles are self –
guiding
  weapon sin tended to maximize damage to the target while minimizing collateral
damage

. The buzzword in modern day combat is fire and forget. GPS guided missiles, using
 the exceptional navigational and surveying abilities of GPS, after being launched, could
 deliver a warhead to any part of the globe via the interface pof the onboard computer in
 the missile with the GPS satellite system.
 Under this principle many modern day laser weapons were designed. Laser guided
missiles use a laser of a certain frequency bandwidth to acquire their target. GPS/inertial
 weapons are oblivious to the effects of weather, allowing a target to be engaged at the

time of the attacker's choosing. GPS allows accurate targeting of various military
 weapons including ICBMs, cruise missiles and precision-guided munitions. Artillery
 projectiles with embedded GPS receivers able to withstand accelerations of 12,000 G
 have been developed for use in 155mm. GPS signals can also be affected by multipath
 issues, where the radio signals reflect off surrounding terrain; buildings, canyon walls,
 hard ground , etc. These delayed signals can cause inaccuracy. A variety of techniques,
  most notably narrow correlator spacing,  have been developed to mitigate multipath
errors.
 Multipath effects are much less severe in moving vehicles. When the GPS antenna is
 moving, the false solutions using reflected signals quickly fail to converge and only the
 direct signals result in stable solutions... In summary, GPS-INS guided weapons are not
  affected by harsh weather conditions or restricted by a wire, nor do they leave the
gunner
 vulnerable for attack. GPS guided weapons with their technological advances over
 previous, are the superior weapon of choice in modern day warfare.

INTROUCTION

1). Introduction to missile guidance :


Guided missile systems have evolved at a tremendous rate over the past four decades,
and recent breakthroughs in technology ensure that smart warheads will have an
increasing role in maintaining our military superiority. On ethical grounds, one prays that
each warhead deployed during a sortie will strike only its intended target, and that
innocent civilians will not be harmed by a misfire. From a tactical standpoint, our
military desires weaponry that is reliable and effective, inflicting maximal damage on

valid military targets and ensuring our capacity for lighting fast strikes with pinpoint
accuracy. Guided missile systems help fulfill all of these demands.

1.1). Concept of missile guidance :


Missile guidance concerns the method by which the missile receives its commands to
move along a certain path to reach a target. On some missiles, these commands are
generated internally by the missile computer autopilot. On others, the commands are
transmitted to the missile by some external source.

Fig +"+ c'ncept ', -issile guidance

The missile sensor or seeker, on the other hand, is a component within a missile that
generates data fed into the missile computer. This data is processed by the computer and
used to generate guidance commands. Sensor types commonly used today include

5/25/2018 AdaptiveMissileGuidanceUsingGps-slidepdf.com

infrared, radar, and the global positioning system.

Based on the relative position between the missile and the target at any given point in
flight, the computer autopilot sends commands to the control surfaces to adjust the
missile's course.

1.2). Types of missile guidance :


  Many of the early guidance systems used in missiles where based on gyroscope
models. Many of these models used magnets in their gyroscope to increase the sensitivity
of the navigational array. In modern day warfare, the inertial measurements of the
missiles are also controlled by a gyroscope in one form or another ,but the method by
which missile approaches the target bears a technical edge. On the battlefield of today,
guided missiles are guided to or acquire their targets by using:

· Radar signal

· Wires

· Lasers (or)

· ost recently !"#

1.2.1)issile guidance using radar signal:


Many machines used in battle, such as tanks, planes, etc. and targets, such as buildings,

hangers, launch pads, etc. have a specific signature when a radar wave is reflected off of
it. Guided missiles that use radar signatures to acquire their targ ets are programmed with 
the specific  signature to home in on. Once the missile is launched, it then uses its
onboard navigational array to home in on the preprogrammed radar signature. Most radar
guided missiles are very successful in acquiring their targets, however, these missiles
need a source to pump out radar signals so that they can acquire their target. The  maor
 "rolem ith these missiles in today8s battlefield is that the countermeasures used

against these missiles work on the same principles that these missiles operate under. The
countermeasures home in on the radar signal source and destroy the antenna array,

5/25/2018 AdaptiveMissileGuidanceUsingGps-slidepdf.com

which essential shuts down the radar source, and hence the radar guided missiles cannot
acquire their targets.

1.2.2). issile guidance using $ires :


Wire guided missiles do not see the target. Once the missile is launched, the missile
proceeds in a linear direction from the launch vehicle. Miles of small, fine wire are
wound in the tail section of the missile and unwind as the missile travels to the target.
Along this wire, the gunner sends navigational signals directing the missile to the target.
If for some reason the wire breaks, the missile will never acquire the target. Wire guided
missiles carry no instrument array that would allow them to acquire a target. One strong
downside to wire guided missiles is the fact that the vehicle from which the missile is
fired must stay out in the open to guide the missile to its target. This leaves the launch
vehicle vulnerable to attack, which on the ba ttlefield one wants to avoid at all costs.

1.2.%). issile guidance using lasers :


In  modern day weaponry the buzzword is fire and forget. Under this principle many
modern day laser weapons were designed. Laser guided missile use a laser of a certain
frequency bandwidth to acquire their target. The gunner sights the target using a laser;
this is called painting the target. When the missile is launched it uses its onboard
instrumentation to look for the heat signature created by the laser on the target. Once the

missile locates the heat signature, the target is acquired, and the missile will home in on
the target even if the target is moving. Despite the much publicized success of laser
guided missiles, laser guided weapons are no good in the rain or in weather conditions
where there is sufficient cloud cover. To overcome the shortcomings of laser guided
missiles presented in unsuitable atmospheric conditions and radar guided missiles
entered GPS as a method of navigating the missile to the target. So, before going to GPS
guided missile we will have an introduction to GPS.

  GPS, which stands for Global Positioning System,
is

 the only system today able to show us our exact position on the Earth anytime, in any

weather, anywhere. GPS satellites, 24 in all, orbit at 11,000 nautical miles above the

Earth. Ground stations located worldwide continuously monitor them. The satellites

transmit signals that can be detected by anyone with a GPS receiver. Using the receiver,

you can determine your location with great precision.  The <'! "roect as develo"ed in

ith four satellites each. The si- orit "lanes have a""ro-imately 55I inclination (tilt

relative to EarthFs euator) and are se"arated y 6;I right ascension of the ascending
node

(angle along the euator from a reference "oint to the oritFs intersection). The orital

 "eriod is one1half a sidereal day, i.e.,  hours and 59 minutes so that the satellites "ass

over the same locations or almost the same locations every day. The orits are

arranged so that at least si- satellites are alays ithin line of sight from almost

everyhere on EarthFs surface. The result of this oective is that the four satellites

are not evenly s"aced (:; degrees) a"art ithin each orit. /n general terms, the angular

difference eteen satellites in each orit is 3;, ;5, 2;, and ;5 degrees a"art hich

1.) Technique called differential correction  can yield accuracies within 1 -5 meters,
or even better, with advanced equipment.
2.) Differential correction requires a second GPS receiver, a   base station,  collecting
data at a stationary position on a precisely known point (typically it is a surveyed
benchmark).
3.) Because physical location of base station is known, a correction factor can be
computed by comparing known location with GPS location determined by using
satellites.
4.) Differential correction process takes this correction factor and applies it to GPS data
  collected by the GPS receiver in the field. -- Differential correction eliminates

  most of the errors.

accelerometer.

/ig %.1. ec&anical0 fi'er optic0 and ring laser gyroscopes

The purpose of a gyroscope is to measure angular rotation, and a number of different

Methods to do so have been devised. A classic mechanical gyroscope senses the stability
of a mass rotating on gimbals. More recent ring laser gyros and fiber optic gyros are
based on the interference between laser beams. Current advances in Micro-Electro-
Mechanical Systems (MEMS) offer the potential to develop gyroscopes that are very
small and inexpensive While gyroscopes measure angular motion, accelerometers
measure linear motion. The accelerations from these devices are translated into electrical
signals for processing by the missile computer autopilot. When a gyroscope and an

accelerometer are combined into a single device along with a control mechanism, it is
called an inertial measurement unit (IMU) or inertial navigation system(INS).

/ig.%.2. Inertial naigation concept

The INS uses these two devices to sense motion relative to a point of origin Inertial
navigation works by telling the missile where it is at the time of launch and how it should
move in terms of both distance and rotation over the course of its flight. The missile
computer uses signals from the INS to measure these motions and insure that the missile
travels along its proper - programmed path. Inertial navigation systems are widel y used
on all kinds of aerospace vehicles, including weapons, military aircraft, commercial
airliners, and spacecraft. Many missiles uses inertial methods for guidance including
AMRAAM ,storm shadow and tomahawk.

typically only 30 m under inertial guidance. Further, the inertial guidance  CEP increases


as the dropping altitude increases, while the GPS CEP does not.The precision of these
weapons is dependent both on the precision of the measurement system used for location
determination and the precision in setting the coordinates of the target. The latter
critically depends on intelligence information, not all of which is accurate. However, if
the targeting information is accurate, satellite-guided weapons are significantly more

likely to achieve a successful strike in any given weather conditions than any other type
of precision guided munition .

.2 I##IL !3I+-C 3#I-! !"# :

The central idea behind the design of DGPS/GPS/inertial guided weapons is that of using
a 3-axis gyro/accelerometer package as an inertial reference for the weapon's autopilot,
and correcting the accumulated drift error in the inertial package by using GPS PPS/P-
code. Such weapons are designated as "accurate" munitions as they will offer CEPs
(Circular Error Probable) of the order of the accuracy of GPS P -code signals, typically
about 40ft.

 
/ig..2. !lo'al "ositioning #ystem used in ranging naigation guidance  .

The next incremental step is then to update the weapon before launch with a DGPS
derived position estimate, which will allow it to correct its GPS error as it flies to the
target, such weapons are designated "precise" and will offer accuracies greater than laser
or TV guided weapons, potentially CEPs of several feet. For an aircraft to support such
munitions, it will require a DGPS receiver, a GPS receiver and interfaces on its multiple

ejector racks or pylons to download target and launch point coordinates to the weapons.
The development of purely GPS/inertial guided munitions will produce substantial
changes in how air warfare is conducted.

Unlike a laser-guided weapon, a GPS/inertial weapon does not require t hat the launch

aircraft remain in the vicinity of the target to illuminate it for guidance - GPS/inertial
weapons are true fire-and-forget weapons, which once released, are wholly autonomous,
and all weather capable with no degradation in accuracy. Existing precision weapons
require an unobscured line of sight between the weapon and the target for the optical
guidance to work.
