Abstract
The remaining range between missile and target can be used to calculate the guidance command as well as to determine the explosion time of the warhead. Since the range, however, is not directly measured by on-board sensors of the missile, it is usually estimated by filter-based techniques using angle-only measurements. Conventional filter-based techniques are complex and require huge computation. In this paper, we propose a range estimation algorithm based on the geometrical triangulation principle for two points of missiles and a target. The proposed algorithm has a simple structure but the accuracy is largely dependent on the measurement errors. To improve the accuracy of estimation, Digital Fading Memory Filter (DFMF) is applied. The performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed through numerical simulations.
