Design and Experimental Analyses of an Accuracy Verification System for Airborne Target Tracking via Radar Guidance Systems

Abstract

A radar guidance system is a core component of a radar-guided air-to-air missile, and its tracking accuracy of airborne targets determines the operational effectiveness of said missile. To verify the tracking accuracy of the radar guidance system against an airborne target under the real flight conditions of the missile, an experimental verification system was implemented in this study. The mechanical, electrical, and bus interfaces of the verification system were examined. A tracking accuracy evaluation model of the seeker was designed based on the data obtained from the experiments using the proposed test method, and the tracking accuracy of the seeker in the typical state was analyzed.
