The Impact of Target Near-Field Scattering on Missile Communication Operations

Abstract

The communication between fuze of missile and warhead is the key to the effectiveness of missile attacking target. The near-field scattering characteristic of target is an important factor influencing the communication of detonation command. In this paper, the near-field radar cross section (RCS) sequence of target under different encounter conditions is calculated. Then, by establishing the model of detonation communication of fuze, the operational efficiency of the fuze command communication under different encounter conditions is simulated. According to the analysis of results, the intensity of near-field RCS has direct influence on fuze communication. Severely, warhead may explore early or late.
