This document discusses different types of missiles and missile guidance systems. It provides details on surface-to-surface, undersea-to-surface, surface-to-air, air-to-surface, and air-to-air missiles. It also describes anti-tank, anti-ship, anti-aircraft, anti-satellite, and ballistic missiles. Additionally, the document outlines cruise missile characteristics and various guidance systems including line-of-sight, pursuit guidance, and their limitations.

2. • In modern language, a missile is a self-
propelled precision-guided
munition system, as opposed to an
unguided self-propelled munition,
referred to as a rocket (although these
too can also be guided). Missiles have
four system components: targeting
or missile guidance, flight system,
engine, and warhead.

AIR TO AIR

5. ANTI TANK MISSILE
•CONTROLLED MANUALY
•SMALLER IN SIZE i.e.,
LANCHUER CAN BE FIXED
ON GROUND AND CAN BE
FIRED BY SUPPORT OF
SHOULDER

6. ANTI SHIP
• IT IS USED TO
TARGET SHIP FROM
AIR OR SHIP.
• IT IS USED TO
DESTROY WAR
• LIGHT IN WEIGHT
ANTI
AIRCRAFT
• FIGHTER PLANES
ARE MAIN TARGET
CAN BE FIRED
FROM BOTH
SURFACE AND AIR
ANTI SATL
• MAINLY KNOWN AS ANTI
SATELITE MISSILE.
• THESE ARE ALSO
KNOWN AS “INTERCEPTOR
OF MISSILE”
• THESE ARE USED FOR
DESTRUCTION OF MISSILE.
• ONLY FEW TESTS ARE
DONE WORLDWIDE

7. BALLISTIC MISSILE.
• BALLISTIC IS A MECHANISM IN WHICH FLIGHT IS
BASED ON INITIALY APPLIED THRUST AND
ANGLE OF PROJECTION.
• BALLISTIC MISSILES ARE MAINLY USED FROM
SURFCE TO HIT THE TARGET.
• NUCLEAR WEPON CAN BE USED AS EXPLOSIVE
IN THESE MISILES.
• THE ACCURACY OF THESE SYSTEMS WAS FAIRLY
POOR, BUT POST-WAR DEVELOPMENT BY MOST
MILITARY FORCES IMPROVED THE
BASIC INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM CONCEPT
TO THE POINT WHERE IT COULD BE USED AS
THE GUIDANCE SYSTEM ON INTERCONTINENTAL
BALLISTIC MISSILES FLYING THOUSANDS OF
KILOMETRES.

8. CRUISE MISSILE
• THESE MISSILE CAN BE LUNCHED FROM
SURFACE OF SHIP, LAND, AIR OR SUBMARINE.
• THESE CAN BE HYPERSONIC, SUPERSONIC AND
SUBSONIC.
• IT HAS ADVANCE GUIDED SYSTEM LIKE GPS ON
OTHER SENSORS TO DETECT TO
TARGET(MOVING OR STATIC).
• MORE ADVANCED SYSTEMS USE INERTIAL
GUIDANCE, SATELLITE GUIDANCE AND TERRAIN
CONTOUR MATCHING (TERCOM). USE OF
AN AUTOMATIC TARGET RECOGNITION
(ATR) ALGORITHM/DEVICE IN THE GUIDANCE
SYSTEM INCREASES ACCURACY OF THE MISSILE

9. GUIDANCE SYSTEM

10. TYPES OF GUIDANCE SYSTEM
1. GO-ONTO-TARGET(GOT)- USED FOR TARGET WHICH ARE
STATIONARY OR MOVING.
GOT IS FURTHER CLASSIFIED AS-
1.1 REMOTE
1.1.1 LOS(LINE OF SIGHT).
1.1.2 OFF THE LOS.
1.1.3 BEAM RIDING.
1.2 HOMING – Active, Passive Transmission.
2. GO-ONTO-LOCATON-IN-SPACE(GOLIS)- USED TO TARGET STATIONARY
OR NEARLY STATIONARY OBJECTS.

11. LINE OF SIGHT GUIDANCE SYSTEM
THREE SYSTEM WORK TO PRSUE TARGET BY THIS METHOD, THEY ARE
• RADAR SYSTEM- IT IS THE REFRANCE POINT FOR ANY MISSILE. RADAR, BY
TRACKING THE TARGET GAVE CALCULATION OF THRUST AND ANGLE OF
PROJECTION AND IT ALSO FURTHER GUIDE THE MISSILE TO CHANGE THE
LOCATION OF MISILE BY THE HELP OF NOZZLE AND AERODYNAMIC
MECHANISM. WE CAN SAY IT PRODUCE A REFRANCE BEAM FOR MISSILE
RADAR
SYSTEM
MISSILE TARGET

12. • MISSILE- IT MOVE ON THE REFRANCE BEAM PRODUCED BY THE RADAR TO HIT
THE TARGET.
• TARGET- THE OBJECT WHICH IS TO BE HIT BY MISSILE.
• LIMITATIONS- ALMOST RENDERED USLESS IN SITUATION WHERE THE TARGET
IS USING EVASIVE MANEUVERS.

13. PERSUIT GUIDANCE SYSTEM
• AS THE NAME SIGNIFIES, THE FIRED MISSILE IN THIS SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY
STAYS ON THE TARGET AND CONTINUES PURSUIT IT UNTIL IT MAKES THE HIT.
• THIS SYSTEM HAS ONLY TWO VARIENT i.e., ALTITUDE PURSUIT (AP) AND
VELOCITY PURSUIT (VP).
• ALTITUDE PERSUITE(ANGLE OF AXIS)- AXIS IS KEPT POINTING TOWARD TARGET
• VELOCITY PERSUITE(ANGLE OF ATTACK)-VELOCITY VECTOR IS KEPT POINTING
THE TARGET.
• TARGET TRACK SYSTEM- TRACKING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED ON THE HEAD
OF MISSILE LIKE RADAR SYSTEM THAT RECIVE EMISSION FRO THE TARGET
OR IR OPTICAL SENSOR THAT TRACK THE HEAT SIGNATURE OF TARGET.

14. • LIMITATIONS- IT BECOME USELESS WHEN THE TARGET IS USING
COUNTERMEASURES LIKE CHAFFS AND REFLECTORS.

15. CONCLUSION
• Some missiles are "fire and forget" which means you don't have to keep a lock on a
target after launching the missile
• There is a massive variety of missiles each suited to a particular Job.
• A lot of them don't even need an actual visual of the target from the operator,
meaning they can lock on even if you can't see the target
