Missile Guided Missile Missile components Working of guidance system Types of guidance system Q &A
MISSILE
Latin word Mittere means To send A self propelled projectile used as a weapon Typically propelled by rocket or jet engines
GUIDED MISSILES
Self-propelled aerial projectiles containing explosives Guided either by remote control or internal mechanisms 5 categories surface to surface, surface to air, air to surface, air to ground & air to air Based on area of operation tactical, support & strategic Based on flight characteristics aerodynamic & ballistic

MISSILE COMPONENTS
Guidance, control, armament & propulsion sections Guidance brain of the missile, directs its maneuvers Control executes the maneuvers Armament carries the explosive charge and the fusing & firing sections Propulsion propels the missile Guidance orders are initiated by electronic sensing
systems
designated target; done by determining flight path errors & generating orders for error correction Orders then sent to missile control sub-system which exercises control to maintain flight path
GOT/GOLIS
A GOT missile can target either a moving or fixed target. A GOLIS weapon is limited to a stationary or near-
stationary target. The trajectory that a missile takes while attacking a moving target is dependent upon the movement of the target. Also, a moving target can be an immediate threat to the sender of the missile. The target needs to be eliminated in a timely fashion in order to preserve the integrity of the sender. In GOLIS systems the problem is simpler because the target is not moving.
GOT systems
In every GOT system there are three subsystems:
the missile and the launcher result in two different categories: Remote Control Guidance: The guidance computer is on the launcher. The target tracker is also placed on the launching platform. Homing Guidance: The guidance computers are in the missile and in the target tracker.
Inertial guidance Command guidance Beam-rider guidance Homing guidance active, semi-active, passive LASER GUIDANCE WIRE GUIDED MISSILE INFRARED GUIDED MISSILE

INERTIAL GUIDANCE
Missiles controlled by self-contained accelerometers Accelerometers measure vertical, lateral & longitudinal
accelerations During flight outside forces cause changes in speed commands which are transmitted to missile by-radio uplink transmitter or by varying characteristics of missile guidance beam This data is taken by onboard computers & converted to precise position of missile Lately inertial systems have been combined with GPS used in ICBMs Suffer from drift chances of missing target are higher
13
COMMAND GUIDANCE
Tracking and guidance are ground based Uses two radars, one to track the target and the other to track
the missile The bearing and elevation of the radar trackers is monitored by a computer which directs the control system to alter the missile trajectory until it reaches the target This system uses a human operator to observe the trajectory of the missile, and direct its control system by remote control radio link This system is broadly similar to radio command, but is less susceptible to electronic counter measures. The command signals are passed along a wire (or wires) dispensed from the missile after launch
14
COMMAND GUIDANCE
Three accelerometers, mounted on a platform space-
stabilized by gyros, measure accelerations along three mutually perpendicular axes; these accelerations are then integrated twice, the first integration giving velocity and the second giving position. The system then directs the control system to preserve the pre-programmed trajectory

BEAM-RIDER GUIDANCE
Missile seeks out centre of controlled directional energy
beam radar beam Beam provides information regarding position of missile to guidance system System interprets this information & generates its own correction signals to keep missile at centre of beam Fire control radar points beam at target and the missile "rides" the beam to the target As beam spreads out more difficult for missile to remain at centre of beam As range increases, accuracy of beam-rider decreases Effective only against short & medium range targets

Tracking Beam
18
HOMING GUIDANCE
Controls path of missile by means of a device in missile that detects and reacts to some signal from target Signal may be light, radio, sound, heat waves or magnetic field System tracks energy reflected off target Missile derives guidance error signals based on its position relative to target Most accurate type of guidance 3 types active , semi-active & passive
19
ACTIVE HOMING
Target illuminated by component within
& speed
Missile sends electronic commands to
control section
Control section Controls angle of attack
20
SEMI-ACTIVE HOMING
Target illuminated by external
reflected signals , computes information & sends electronic commands to control section
Hawk anti-aircraft systems
21
PASSIVE HOMING
Directing intelligence is This may be a source of
infrared rays (such as the hot exhaust of jet aircraft) or radar signals (such as those transmitted by ground radar installations)
signals generated by the target and then the missile control section functions in the same manner
22
LASER GUIDANCE
Laser guidance is a technique of guiding a missile or other projectile or vehicle to a target by means of a laser beam.
WIRE-GUIDED MISSILE
A wire-guided missile is a missile guided by signals sent to it via thin wires reeled out during flight.
INFRARED HOMING
Infra-red homing refers to a guidance system which uses the infra-red light emissions of a target to track it. Missiles which use infra-red seeking are often referred to as "heat-seekers". Infra-red is just below the visible spectrum of light and is radiated mostly by hot bodies.
Optical guidance
Guided missiles use stored images of the terrain they are to fly over and an external sensor to track their current position. This guidance system was extremely expensive and not suitable for use in small payload operations. These were used on cruise missiles before the advent of GPS, which is both cheaper and more accurate. Devices that implement optical guidance incur high costs because of the high on-board processing requirements needed to check the current location against the course data
CONCLUSION
Guidance System is a complex system which involves
several systems working in tandem Development of missile involve huge expenditures essential that guidance system is properly designed for accurate interception of targets
