Introduction
ADAPTIVE MISSILE
GUIDANCE USING
GPS is a modern
approach in wireless
communication.
For the day to day
world of wars and
battles, the new
techniques to throw
an attack on the
opposing team are
emerging immensely.
This had led to the
development of
various types of
guided missiles.

HISTORY
American rocket
pioneerRobert
Goddard.experimented
with
rudimentarygyroscopic
systems.
The systems entered
more widespread use
with the advent
ofspacecraft,guided
missiles, and
commercialairliners.

What is Missile Guidance???

Missile
guidancerefers to a
variety of methods of
guiding amissileor
aguided bomb to its
intended target. The
missile's target accuracy
is a critical factor for its
effectiveness.

TYPES OF MISSILE GUIDANCE

On the battlefield of today, guided

missiles are guided to or acquire their
targets by using:

Radar signal,
Wires,
Lasers (or),
Most recently GPS.

INTRODUCTION TO GPS
TheGlobal Positioning
System(GPS) is a spacebasedsatellite navigation system
that provides location and time
information in all weather,
anywhere on or near the Earth,
where there is an unobstructed line
of sight
to four or more GPS
satellites.

What are the Elements of GPS

GPS has three parts: the
space segment, the user
segment, and the control
segment. The space
segment consists of a
constellation of 24 satellites
plus some spares, each in its
own orbit 11,000 nautical
miles above Earth.

INTRODUCTION TO DGPS
Differential Global
Positioning System
(DGPS) is an
enhancement to Global
Positioning System (GPS),
that provides improved
location accuracy, from
the 15-meter nominal
GPS accuracy to about 10
cm in case of the best
implementations.

MISSILE GUIDANCE USING GPS

The central idea
behind the design
of
DGPS/GPS/inertial
guided weapons is
that of using a 3axis
gyro/accelerometer
package as an
inertial reference
for the weapon's
autopilot.

(Continued)
Such weapons are
designated as
"accurate"
munitions as they
will offer CEPs
(Circular Error
Probable) of the
order of the
accuracy of
GPS P -code
signals,
typically about 40ft.

ACTUAL WORKING OF GPS GUIDANCE

SYSTEM
An inertial navigation
system (INS) is a
navigation aid that uses a
computer, motion sensors
and rotation sensors
(gyroscopes) to
continuously calculate via
dead reckoning the position,
orientation, and velocity
(direction and speed of
movement) of a moving
object without the need for
external references.

The Missile
guidance using
GPS uses this
Inertial Navigation
System as its
basic concept.

HOW DOES GPS FINDS THE

EXACT POSITION OF THE
TARGET??
In the figure at left, the
dashed lines show the
actual intersection point,
and the gray bands indicate
the area of uncertainty.

In this diagram, the solid lines

indicate
where the GPS receiver "thinks"
the target is located. Because of
errors in the
receiver's internal clock, these

Continued

The GPS receiver must

change the size of the
spheres until the
intersection point is
determined. The relative
size of each sphere has
already been calculated,
so if the size of one
sphere is changed, the
other spheres must be
adjusted byexactly the

HOW DOES THE INERTIAL

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
WORKS???

Inertial navigation
relies on devices
onboard the missile
that senses its motion
and acceleration in
different directions.
These devices are
called gyroscopes and
accelerometers.

GUIDING EQUIPMENTS
The way these the subsystems are
distributed between the missile and
the launcher result in two different
categories:
Remote Control Guidance: The
guidance computer is on the
launcher. The target tracker is also
placed on the launching platform.
Homing Guidance: The guidance
computers are in the missile and in
the target tracker.

WHY GPS GUIDANCE???

The
GPS
receiver catches
the change in
the size of the
spheres
until
the intersection
point
is
determined.

CONCLUSIO
N
Thus, after overall view of all the

missile guidance systems we come

to an conclusion that Adaptive
Missile Guidance Using GPS is the
most efficient method to chase any
target as it saves economical
losses, environmental losses &
various other losses which were
faced during early wars.
