The Development of Loitering Munitions Route Planning and Flight Control Method
Loitering munitions(LMs)are the combination of UAV technology and ammunition technology.They can realize such functions as battlefield situational awareness,precise strike,information support and so on.They are one of important weapons in future information warfare.The definition and composition,ammunition classification,operational functions,model development,battlefield application and others of LMs are briefly introduced.The development status and future trends of LMs route planning algorithm are overviewed,including traditional planning method,intelligent planning algorithm and cluster planning algorithm,etc.The development status and future trends of such key technologies of LMs flight control as guidance,attitude control and navigation technology,are reviewed respectively.The guidance technology includes tracking guidance in cruise section,terminal guidance in dive section and cooperative guidance of multiple LMs.The future development direction of LMs are prospected.
