METHOD FOR SHAPING CONTROL SIGNAL OF MISSILE DURING ORIENTATION AT MANOEUVRING TARGET Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F41G7/22 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: initial hypothetic rendezvous moment is pre-set, coordinates of vertexes of triangular approachability areas of missile and target in horizontal plane are calculated for that rendezvous moment from the position corresponding to missile control selection moment. Distances from vertexes of triangular approachability area of target to missile approachability area are determined, which together with hypothetic rendezvous moment are stored. Hypothetic rendezvous moment is varied within the range of the time moment at which the control is chosen to maximum allowable moment of end of orientation. For each vertex of triangular approachability area of target there found is its optimum hypothetic rendezvous moment corresponding to minimum distance between missile approachability area and this vertex. Optimum hypothetic rendezvous moments for each vertex of target approachability area and distance from that vertex to missile approachability area are stored. That vertex of target approachability area is chosen which at its optimum hypothetic rendezvous moment is located at maximum distance from missile approachability area, and as per mutual location of that vertex and missile approachability area built for the same hypothetic rendezvous moment there chosen is missile control.

EFFECT: improving missile orientation accuracy, improving usability of fighting equipment of missile during firing at high-speed and high-manoeuvrable targets.
