Do you need a specific navigation system to fly a missile?Importance of the navigation system FOG to the missile rover: In order to fulfill the tasks of reconnaissance, surveillance and attack, the missile rover must know accurately its position and flight direction. For example, in the reconnaissance mission, if the roving missile cannot navigate accurately, it will not be able to carry out a comprehensive reconnaissance of the target area in accordance with the predetermined route, and may miss important targets or repeat the reconnaissance of certain areas, which will lead to inefficiency in reconnaissance. In the attack mission, accurate navigation is even more critical, only accurate navigation to the target location, in order to effectively strike the target. In particular, it is very necessary to configure FOG for long-endurance cruise missiles.
Special mission requirements of the navigation system requirements: in some special combat scenarios, the patrol bomb may also need more accurate navigation means FOG, for example, in the complex electromagnetic environment, GPS signals may be interfered with, then it may be necessary to use terrain matching FOG navigation or visual navigation and other technologies as a supplement. Terrain matching navigation is to use the terrain features under the missile to match with the pre-stored terrain data, so as to determine its own position; visual navigation is to identify and analyze the surrounding environment through the optical equipment mounted on the missile to determine its own flight direction and position.
