The Guidance Algorithm of Air-to-Air Guided Missile with an Active Radar Target-Seeking Head to a Helicopter with Various Modes of its Flight

Abstract

On the basis of the mathematical apparatus of the statistical theory of optimal control, the method and algorithm of guidance of an air-to-air guided missile with an active radar target-seeking head when aiming at a «helicopter» class air target with various modes of its flight, including when hovering have been developed. The synthesis has been carried out as a result of flight experimental studies of radar signals reflected from a real helicopter. Also, recommendations for ensuring continuous tracking of a helicopter in an active radar target-seeking head have been presented
