A Scanning Design Method Suitable for Short-Range Imaging Seekers

Focusing on the problem of improving target capturing probability of the short-range imaging seeker, an effective scanning design method is presented in this paper. The imaging covering width suitable for the field of view (FOV) of the imaging seeker, together with the scanning velocity design is discussed in detail. And the residence time of the targets corresponding to different target positions are solved by using a numerical method. Comparisons are made to test three different scanning strategies. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
