A Survey of Multi-Missile Cooperative Terminal Guidance

Abstract

Cooperative guidance is an important research direction in the field of missile guidance in recent years. Based on the classification criteria such as mission requirements, communication structure, constraints, etc., this paper classifies and summarizes the current multi-missile cooperative terminal guidance strategies, and combs the research status of time cooperative guidance law, spatial cooperative guidance law, and spatial-time cooperative guidance law. It analyzes the key issues for cooperative guidance at this stage, such as the estimation problem of remaining flight time, the cooperative interception problem of maneuvering targets, the information registration problem of closed-loop cooperative guidance, the communication problem of closed-loop cooperative missile, etc. Finally, this paper proposes four research directions of the future multi-missile cooperative terminal guidance technologies: cooperative interception technology for large maneuvering targets, robust cooperative guidance technology for real scenes, intelligent autonomous cooperative guidance technology, and parallel interactive design technology for cooperative operations.
