A comprehensive review on application of composite guidance technology in aerial guided bombs

Compared with the single-method guidance technology, the composite guidance technology has outstanding performance in anti-stealth, anti-jamming and accurate target identification, which can effectively enhance the perception and penetration ability of aerial guided bombs, and has great military value and potential economic value. Therefore, the application of composite guidance technology in aeronautical guided bombs are reviewed in this paper. Firstly, the definition of composite guidance technology based on aerial bombs are introduced, and the common single-method guidance technology and composite guidance technology applied to aerial guided bombs are listed. Secondly, the development status of guided aerial bombs using composite guidance technology in foreign countries are described, and three important technologies of composite guidance technology in aerial guided bombs are discussed, including high-precision technology, anti-jamming technology and simulation technology of composite guidance. Finally, the development trend of this technology is summarized.
