Research on terminal maneuver strategy of anti-ship missiles

To design the terminal maneuver strategy of an anti-ship missile, first, the analytical solution of miss distance when an anti-ship missile has planar weaving maneuver and three-dimension spiral maneuver is presented, in which not only the amplitude and frequency are considered but also the initial phase is taken into account. Next, based on the analytical solution of miss distance, the effects on the miss distance of the amplitude, frequency, initial phase of the anti-ship missile's maneuver acceleration and the order of flight control system of the air-ship missile are analyzed. Finally, the optimum weaving maneuver and spiral maneuver which make the miss distance be the largest under some conditions are designed, which is of important meaning for increasing the survival probability of the anti-ship missile.
