In guided missile systems, reducing terminal-position error is the primary objective of the inertial navigation system. As a seeker is used to sense and track a target, the critical function of the inertial navigation system is to provide the seeker with accurate missile attitude information and help the seeker to keep tracking a target continuously. As inertial sensor body and missile body alignment errors are taken into account, it is desirable to minimize the alignment errors between the missile seeker and the attitude of inertial navigation system. Among the alignment errors, this paper addresses the methods of measuring and compensating misalignment between inertial sensor body and housing frame and shows test results of several experiments.

Laser beam is directional and small in divergence angle so that it is well qualified to deliver high intensity infrared energy into a coming MANPADS threat for aircraft survivability. The threat will be deceived and loose tracking of a target when it is exposed to the laser beam modulated relevant to the track mechanism of the threat. The laser beam goes through scattering inside the seeker of the threat and reach the detector in a stray light form, which is a critical phenomenon enabling jamming of the seeker. The mechanism of the laser beam based jamming against a pulse modulated infrared seeker is shown. Simulations are carried out to support the understanding of how the jam technique works.

We describe a common optical system that merges a LADAR system, which generates a point cloud, and a more traditional imaging system operating in the LWIR, which generates image data. The optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined by analysis of detection ranges of the LADAR sensor, and the result was applied to design a common optical system using LADAR sensors and LWIR sensors; the performance of these sensors was then evaluated. The minimum detectable signal of the $128{\times}128-pixel$ LADAR detector was calculated as 20.5 nW. The detection range of the LADAR optical system was calculated to be 1,000 m, and according to the results, the optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined to be 15.7 cm. The modulation transfer function (MTF) in relation to the diffraction limit of the designed common optical system was analyzed and, according to the results, the MTF of the LADAR optical system was 98.8% at the spatial frequency of 5 cycles per millimeter, while that of the LWIR optical system was 92.4% at the spatial frequency of 29 cycles per millimeter. The detection, recognition, and identification distances of the LWIR optical system were determined to be 5.12, 2.82, and 1.96 km, respectively.

Tracking and detecting targets by the millimeter wave seeker is affected by moving of platform. In order to perform the tracking performance, stabilization of a millimeter wave seeker which consists of 2-axis gimbals was considered in this study. The feasibility of the analysis and the 2-axis gimbal servo system modeling design were verified along with some simulation results.

A target adaptive guidance(TAG) algorithm is proposed employing the near-zone signal that can be measured from an infrared seeker. The guidance order is composed of a conventional PNG command and an additional command to be calculable from an additional LOS rate between a hot point of target and a required intercept point. The characteristic of the near-zone signal is similar to that of LOS rate that is inversely proportional to the square of time-to-go. Hence the proposed scheme can be applied to real systems with no estimator for time-to-go. From analysis results on the miss distance with perfect missile and perfect seeker, it follows that the proposed TAG algorithm guarantees missile to be ideally guided to the required intercept point. And it is less affected by the TAG start time and a proportional navigation ratio than other TAG schemes using a LOS rate such as a step bias or a ramp bias.

The function of DIRCM(Directed Infrared Countermeasures) jamming is to cause the missile to miss its intended target by disturbing the seeker tracking process. The DIRCM jamming uses the pulsing flashes of IR energy and its frequency, phase and intensity have influence on the missile guidance system. In this paper, we analysis the DIRCM jamming effect of spin-scan reticle seeker. Simulation results show that the jamming effect is greatly influenced by frequency, phase and intensity of the jammer signal.

For implementing the proportional navigation guidance law on passive homing missiles equipped with strapdown imaging infrared seekers, the line-of-sight angles and rates with respect to the inertial frame should be estimated by carefully handling the parasitic instability effect due to the seeker's latency. By introducing a new state vector representation along with the Pade approximation for compensating the time-delay of the seeker, this paper proposes a new guidance filter structure, stochastic dynamic models and measurement equations, in three-dimensional homing problem. Then, it derives the line-of-sight angle and rate estimator in general two-dimensional engagement by applying the extended Kalman filter to the proposed structure. The estimation performance and the characteristics of the proposed filter were evaluated via a series of numerical experiments.

It is observed that if the 2-gimballed seeker is stabilized using rate gyros mounted along its primary axis, line of sight change measured in the seeker is induced by the rolling due to the bank-to-turn(BTT) steering as well as the actual change. This body-coupling within BTT homing includes the spurious target maneuver effect and the coupling loop due to the rate gyro misalignment. In this paper we formulates the linear BTT homing loop model with a 2-gimballed seeker including those body-coupling effects. With the model, we analyze the effects of the couplings, and show that the roll rate coupling to the rate gyro for the stabilztion of gimbal could seriously deteriorate the homing loop stability. And we propose a direct linear compensator for the coupling to recover the stability.

A two-degree-of freedom (TDF) $H_{\infty}$controller for a seeker scan loop is presented for the purpose of improving scanning performances. The perturbed plant model is characterized via the normalized coprime factorization. The TDF $H_{\infty}$controller is designed based on the loop shaping design procedure and model matching approach, and its performances are evaluated and compared with those of a previous work. It is demonstrated that the proposed TDF $H_{\infty}$controller is more effective to the control of the seeker scan loop than the previous controller.oller.
