New-generation hybrid guidance system based on infrared and millimeter waves

Abstract

The aim of this study is to propose an improvement to the fighting effectiveness of the homing antiarmor missile that would be accomplished by improving the antijamming accuracy and ability of the existing seeker system. We aim to show that dual-mode guidance systems based on infrared and millimeter waves can over-come the shortages of single-mode guidance systems and verify our theory through simulations. Accordingly, the composite seeker design, based on a combination of an uncooled staring infrared imaging technology and a W-band millimeter wave active phased array, is presented in this article.
