Laser Guidance with Triad Detector Array Strapdown Seeker.

Abstract

The triad detector array strapdown seeker is designed to guide a bomb toward the target designated by a laser. The signal processor determines the error signals related to the error angles of the bomb body fixed X-axis from the target LOS. Error signals are employed as correction commands to the bomb control surfaces in order to keep the bomb in the target LOS. The complete system is simulated as a computer algorithm to evaluate the performance of the triad detector array strapdown seeker. The trajectory of the bomb is determined by the computer algorithm from the release point to the impact point. The results revealed that the triad detector array strapdown seeker provided pursuit guidance for nonmoving targets and achieved destruction. (Author)
