Abstract
This paper presents some new methods for estimating the probability of impact of a terrain-following cruise missile into obstacles, terrain anomalies, and bald terrain. Estimates of the impact probability are determined for a missile penetrating an area with randomly located obstacles and the effects of navigational-reconnaissance errors on the impact probabilities are investigated. The bold terrain impact probability of a missile with a linear altitude control system having either a downward or a forward looking sensor is determined with emphasis on terrain whose power spectral density decays at 20 dB/decade for which previously published methods could not be used.
