Abstract
In preliminary analysis of guided systems, it is required to assess the miss distance performance from some small set of parameters. This paper presents analytical formulas of bounds on the achievable rms miss by a radar-guided missile against a variety of target maneuvers. These formulas use a set of core parameters that affect the miss distance; thus, they can be used for synthesis and analysis of the performance of radar-guided tactical missiles. The bound is derived, subject to the assumption that the missile guidance law and estimator are fully matched to the missile dynamics, the target maneuver, and the glint noise. The glint is the dominant noise source, the missile applies frequency agility, and there is no missile acceleration limit. No system can achieve smaller rms miss distance than the one presented, subject to the stated assumptions.
