Terrestrial Navigation
Terrain Contour Matching, or TERCOM
It is a navigation system used primarily by cruise
missiles. It uses a pre-recorded contour map of the terrain
that is compared to measurements made during flight by
an on-board radar altimeter
DSMAC (Digital Scene-Mapping Area
Correlator)
Modern systems can store numerous images of a target
as seen from different directions, and often the imagery
can be calculated using image synthesis techniques.. The
combination of these technologies produced the Digital
Scene-Mapping Area Correlator (DSMAC).
INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM
EMPLOYS ACCELEROMETERS TO CALCULATE DISTANCE FROM
TARGET AND LAUNCH POINT SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE MISSILE IS
CONTROLLED BY SELF-CONTAINED AUTOMATIC DEVICES CALLED
ACCELEROMETERS
Global Positioning Satellite
Another way to navigate a cruise missile is
by using a satellite positioning system, such
as GPS
Satellite navigation systems are precise
and cheap
Active homing
In the active
homing system,
target illumination
is supplied by a
component carried
in the missile, such
as a radar
transmitter. The
radar signals
transmitted from
the missile are
reflected off the
target back to the
receiver in the
missile.
Passive homing
In the passive
homing system, the
directing
intelligence is
received from the
target. Examples of
passive homing
include homing on
a source of infrared
rays (such as the
hot exhaust of jet
aircraft) or radar
signal
Semi-active homing
In the semi
active homing
system, the
missile gets its
target
illumination
from an external
source, such as a
transmitter
carried in the
launching
aircraft.
