A Survey on Guidance Method of Air-to-Air Missiles Facing High Maneuvering Targets

Abstract

The rapid development of high-speed flight weapon technology brings severe challenges to air defense and anti-missile missions, and also puts forward new requirements for target trajectory prediction technology and air-to-air missile guidance technology. Under this background, this paper analyzes the new requirements of air-to-air missile target prediction and guidance technology, introduces the characteristics of the fourth-generation air-to-air missiles by taking two typical air-to-air missiles as examples, expounds the working principle of air-to-air missile guidance system, summarizes the research status of high-speed target trajectory prediction method, terminal guidance algorithm and integrated guidance and control method in detail, and compares and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Finally, the problems that still need to be further researched are prospected.
