Abstract

Loitering munitions would quickly reach the target area in the complex battlefield environment, and perform a variety of application advantages, such as total field reconnaissance, flexible cruise monitoring, weather monitoring, the battlefield damage assessment, relay communication and target attack, which has attached the widespread attention around the world. In this paper, each functional system model of the typical loitering munitions has been established. With the fact that the loitering munitions are faced with the problem of complex terrain, its launch battlefield environment and launch strategies under different terrain is analyzed and studied. And through the wind tunnel test of aerodynamic characteristics, the dynamic model of a small loitering munition is developed. In a typical topographical environment, based on genetic algorithm, trajectory optimization for a launch loitering munition is accomplished, eschewing the battlefield obstacles, the calculation results have great significance in technical guidance to engineering practices.
