Abstract
Interceptor missiles designed against aircraft had substantial advantage in speed and maneuverability. Simple guidance concepts and technological progress yielded satisfactory performance, making a mental effort to develop new concepts unnecessary. The Gulf War revealed the threat of tactical ballistic missiles. Missile defense systems, using conventional guidance, demonstrated hit-to-kill accuracy against non-maneuvering targets. Similar performance against future maneuvering targets needs innovative guidance and estimation concepts. This goal can be achieved only if estimation errors against maneuvering targets are minimized. The paper compares the homing performance achieved by using different estimators and raises new ideas for improved estimator design.
