Development trend and study direction of terminal guided projectile

The development and improvement of terminal guided projectile are introduced, which includes terminal guided howitzer shell, terminal guided mortar shell and extended-range shell of naval gun. Their merits and demerits, and the limitations of utilization are analyzed, meanwhile the developing trend in terminal guided projectile is deduced. Some key technologies of flight dynamics for terminal guided projectile, such as deal high overload, determine direction of gravity, extended range methods, searching and acquisition of homing head, guidance law and handover and cost-effect analyzing, are presented as well.
