 The V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rocket, both of which used a
simple mechanical autopilot to keep the missile flying along
a pre-chosen route.

normally installed in a missile to
measure the accelerations about

 Missile guidance
refers to a variety of methods of guiding a missile or
a guided bomb to its intended target. The missile's target
accuracy is a critical factor for its effectiveness.
On the battlefield of today, guided missiles are guided
to or acquire their targets by using:
Radar signal
Wires
Lasers
Most recently GPS
 Acceleration commands,
 Attitude commands, etc. depends on the specific application
 For instance, a typical rule of thumb for intercepting a target that has constant
acceleration perpendicular to the LOS is for the missile to have a 3:1
acceleration advantage over the target.
 Acceleration Control System

It is designed to track commanded acceleration perpendicular to the

missile longitudinal axis.

The control deflection produces a small aerodynamic force on the tail fin.
The induced moment rotates the missile to produce the AOA, which in turn
produces aerodynamic lift to accelerate the airframe.
 Attitude Control System

can be used to control the attitude of the missile.

In this case, the control effector is the thrust-deflection angle that is

actuated by either a nozzle or jet tabs. The feedback loops have a structure
similar to that used in the acceleration control system
The integration of pitch rate measured by the IMU to pitch attitude would
typically be done via discrete integration in the missile navigation processing in
the flight computer.
 Flight-Path Angle Control System

can be used to track flight-path angle commands using thrust-vector

control. This type of system assumes that aerodynamic forces are small and
hence applies for exoatmospheric flight or for endoatmospheric flight when the
missile speed is low.

The pitch rate is measured by the IMU. The other feedback quantities are
estimated in the missile navigation processing in the flight computer.
 LRASM technology will reduce
network links, and GPS
navigation in aggressive
electronic warfare environments.
 The routing and guidance
capabilities of LRASM allows it to
safely navigate to the enemy
area, where the weapon can use
gross target cueing data to find
and destroy its pre-determined
target in denied environments.

Navigation
Target location and the trajectory of
the missile must follow are calculated
and set into the missile before it is
launched.
 Terrestrial reference navigation
relies on comparisons of
photos or maps carried in the
missile with an image of the
terrain over which the missile is
flying at that time.
 Similar to preset
 The method of controlling the
flight path is based on the use of
accelerometers which are
mounted on a gyro-stabilized
platform.
Navigation by the stars
The navigator measures the
angular elevation of two or more
known stars or planets, using a
sextant.
 Missile Remote Control by Radar

 Missiles tracking radar tracks the

missile by track beam and
command link that receive from
computer.
A device in the missile keeps it
centered in the beam.

After the missile is captured (by the

capture beam), it rides the capture
beam for a few seconds. During this
time it gets closer to the scan axis of
the radar beam. Then, capture-
guidance change over takes place.
 Target illumination is
supplied by a component carried
in the missile, such as a radar
transmitter. The radar signals
transmitted from the missile are
reflected off the target back to
the receiver in the missile.
 In the passive homing
system, the directing intelligence
is received from the target.
Examples of passive homing
include homing on a source of
infrared rays (such as the hot
exhaust of jet aircraft) or radar
signal
 In the semi active
homing system, the missile
gets its target illumination
from an external source,
such as a transmitter carried
in the launching aircraft.
 This presentation has covered a variety of topics related
to the missile flight control system. The design of this
important missile subsystem will continue to evolve to
realize the maximum capability of the missile airframe to
engage the stressing threats expected in the future.
