Fly Over Homing Guidance For Fire And Forget Missile Systems

View page
US Patent:
59328339, Aug 3, 1999
Filed:
Mar 3, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/806750
Inventors:
Ricky K. Hammon - Decatur AL
Monte K. Helton - Madison AL
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC
International Classification:
F42C 1302
F41G 720
US Classification:
102213
Abstract:
The fly over homing guidance system for terminal homing missile guidance is fire and forget missile guidance method wherein on board target sensing tracks the target and guides the missile to the target, but instead of being guided to a direct impact as is conventionally done, the missile is guided toward a precise distance over the top of the target, intentionally avoiding impact. A second sensor on the missile detects the leading edge of the target, such as the turret of a tank. The warhead is then fired down onto the top of the target as the missile is guided or directed over it. Further, the shot line of the warhead is substantially perpendicular to the top of the target, maximizing lethality. This allows the use of the same angle of attack and warhead for all modes of target engagement and thus maintains high lethality for every firing scenario.

Aimpoint Bias For Terminal Homing Guidance

US Patent:
H406, Jan 5, 1988
Filed:
Apr 6, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/034364
Inventors:
Ricky K. Hammon - Decatur AL
Monte K. Helton - Madison AL
Ray H. Farmer - Huntsville AL
James F. Meadows - Hartselle AL
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC
International Classification:
F41G 700
US Classification:
244 311
Abstract:
This device is a modification to the basic auto-tracker function in missile uidance systems, and consist of three new auto-tracker functions. First the gunner has control of an extra set of crosshairs in the tracker output imagery. The gunner will position this crosshair on the desired impact point of the target while the auto-tracker is tracking the target and issuing guidance commands to the missile. The second part is a discrete command issued by the gunner to the auto-tracker. If the gunner decides his impact point selection is better than the auto-trackers impact point selection he simply commands the auto-tracker to enter the aimpoint bias mode. At this time the auto-tracker will stop tracking the old track point and start tracking the part of the image defined by the gunner controlled crosshair. The third part is the filtered transition of the auto-tracker error signal from the old track point to the new track point. The results of optimum aimpoint selection will be a large improvement in missile kill probability against a wide variety of target and background conditions.
