Accuracy of Missile Guidance Systems

Its track-via-missile!But for ships u really need a larger warhead.And cruise missiles are much better for that.

Where can i find out more about adaptive algorithm?

Inertial navigation is not suitable for aerial target even in initial stage.
You should implement adaptive algorithm.
After finding, recognizing and locking on the target, your algorithm should calculate the relative speed, position and course and that is the initial data for navigation algorithm.
For ship that is relatively low speed target, you could use low level flight with raising trajectory at appropriate distance and top attack.
For aerial target proportional navigation is better.
With good onboard computer(s) and DSP you must have 100 percent direct hit, but consider non-contact fuse also.
Active radar + optical (UV+IR+Visual recognition) is the best combination against cuntermeasures.
That is my opinion. In fact I’m former missile designer (manportable), so may be I’m wrong regarding to the big missiles.

OK!
Accuracy of Missile Guidance Systems depend on many factors including countermeasures. What kind of guidance methot you are intending to use.

Probably an INS mid course stage with an Active Radar Terminal stage. Also open to Optical Guidance Terminal Stage with feedback to platform for enhanced ROE.

It’s a group project, with members looking at different areas. I’m primarily concerned with guidance. The system will be placed on a passive platform, so a beam rider is ruled out straight away. We’re thinking of using a two stage guidance system at least.
Performance wise we’re looking at a missile that can handle 30G and a range upto 90 miles. Our recommendations will probably be a modular design that can be constructed for different targets.
A warhead similar to that used by the LOCAAS might be the answer to a range of targets. The best way to attack a ship is down through the funnel, so we’re not thinking of punching through a ships side.
Ideally the missile should also be capable of being launched from a helo.

Looking at a weapon system for a Future Frigate for the Royal Navy around 2030. Common missile would mean half the research, procurement and through life costs and unfortunately everything comes down to money!

Weapon system is not only a missile.
Regarding to the missile itself AA missile has higher speed and maneuvrability, relatively small warhead, good accuracy and non-contact fuse. AS missile needs more hevier warhead, but do not need so high maneuvrability and speed considering target’s speed.

Your faced with the issue of a SAM that is hauling a warhead big enough to sink a ship or an SSM that can’t sink anything bigger than a speed boat. I suppose it could work if you’re talking about something like Standard or the larger Soviet SAMs but probably not for smaller point defence missiles.

Combination between anti-aircraft and anti-ship missile? But why?
