Three computer simulations of command to line-of-sight
missile guidance systems were developed within an electronic
warfare environment to test the feasibility of improved
guidance techniques while maintaining simplicity for generic
application among the various missiles of this general
guidance classification. The first simulation modeled the
basic guidance scheme; the second introduced a "lead-angle"
concept; and the third simulation combined these techniques
for use depending upon whether the target took evasive
action or employed electronic countermeasures . It was found
that consideration should be given for use of a "lead-angle"
variant in conjunction with the basic guidance technique to
enhance the effective engagement envelope of these missile
systems against relatively slower-maneuvering targets employing
only low-duty-cycle denial jamming.
