An approach for cooperative navigation of multi-missiles based on wireless datalink

Cooperative attack of multi-missiles becomes the direction of future precision-guided weapon system. The cooperative navigation is one of the key problems for the multiple-missiles formation. The concept of autonomous formation and cooperative guidance of multi-missiles is defined. A new practical solution for cooperative navigation in missiles formation with passive angle-only measurements is presented. The nonlinear Gauss-Hermite filter algorithm is suggested for multi-missiles navigation. Simulation results show the good navigation performance of the algorithm when used in association with the proposed nonlinear ldquocurrentrdquo statistical model.
