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

pioneer Robert
Goddard. experimented with
rudimentary gyroscopic
systems.
The systems entered more
widespread use with the
advent of spacecraft, guided
missiles, and
commercial airliners.

What is Missile Guidance???

Missile guidance refers to a

variety of methods of guiding

a missile or a guided 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
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-

based satellite 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.

Continued
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

TARGET SHOOT BY USING

GPS.

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.

CONCLUSION
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.
