METHOD OF MISSILE COMMAND SIGNAL FORMATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F41G7/22 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: method lies in formation of a missile command signal in a vertical plane, starting from target engagement range by the radar-tracking homing head (RHH) for tracking up to missile-target encounter and formation of a command signal by the missile in a horizontal plane from range of target resolution, defined by RHH antenna beam width (ABW) to missile-target encounter according to a method of proportional approach. Thus orienting a missile in a horizontal plane from missile-target engagement range by the RHH to range of target resolution, defined by RHH antenna beam width, is split into several consecutive stages equal on duration, defined by time necessary for an estimation of a maximum quantity resolved on Doppler frequency of air targets by the missile RHH with probability of a correct estimation, exceeding its threshold value. At each stage depending on a situation concerning quantity resolved on Doppler frequency of the targets in group in missile RHH at the previous stage of prompting of a missile the command signal is formed by it, or also according to a method of proportional approach, or according to a method of proportional approach with displacement of an angular rotation rate of a target sight line "missile-target" on a constant and not equal to zero value for maintenance of required linear resolution of the targets in a horizontal plane.

EFFECT: increase in resolution by a missile homing head of elements of a group air target.
