METHOD FOR MISSILE GUIDANCE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: armament equipment, applicable in designing and modernization of surface-to-surface guided missiles. SUBSTANCE: guidance (flight path) is accomplished in six flight legs. In the first leg the missile is launched at an angle of 30 to 90 deg. to the horizon to the ballistic trajectory up to the predetermined altitude, in the second lag the missile velocity vector is turned by the limit available load factor through an angle of 30 to 50 deg, in the third leg the missile is transferred to the ballistic flight up to the trajectory peak, in the fourth leg the limit available load factor directed upward is imparted to the missile until its velocity factor becomes horizontal, in the fifth leg-horizontal flight transferred to a flat gliding is effected. In the sixth leg the missile is made go into a dive at a predetermined angle to the horizon. EFFECT: provided maximum missile range due to optimum organization of its trajectory by using the available load factor for maneuver. 1 dwg
