Automatic Target Designation.

Abstract

Television guidance systems have traditionally relied upon a human operator to designate a target before weapon release. This study uses computer simulations, which include a simulated terrain model, to evolve on-board hardware techniques for automatically designating targets after weapon release. Projectiles that use 128-line television guidance that automatically designates moving objects in a land target area are successfully simulated. (Author)
