METHOD FOR HOMING OF CONTROLLED MISSILE AND HOMING SYSTEM FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F41G7/34 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to systems of missile control and may be used in anti-tank guided weapons (ATGW). According to the method, they launch a controlled missile with a board source of radiation, with the help of a TV system a light flow is received from a source. A sequence of video frames is generated for a target environment together with an image of a source of radiation and a target. The space burned by the board source of radiation and coordinates of its centre are determined. Coordinates of the controlled missile are determined, and control commands are generated. In each frame within the limits of the field of view of a missile photodetector in accordance with the additionally generated sequence of video frames or by the current sequence of video frames they determine the area of the target image space. They calculate coordinates of the centre of the identified area of the target, and coordinates of the missile are generated relative to the coordinates of the target. Control commands are generated by coordinates of the missile relative to the target coordinates.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of a control system due to generation of missile control commands by coordinates of a missile relative to a target and exclusion of a gunlayer from a missile homing process.
