    1) The guidance system acts as the brain of a missile and allows it to be guided along its path towards a target in an agile manner, unlike a guided bomb which follows a fixed trajectory. 2) There are several types of guidance systems for missiles, including wire guided, inertial guided, command guided, and homing guidance, with homing guidance being the most efficient and accurate currently. 3) Homing guidance systems, also called two-point guidance systems, allow missiles to point themselves towards the target autonomously using different methods such as active homing guidance, semi-active homing guidance, and passive homing guidance.

    HOMING GUIDANCE SYSTEM FOR MISSILES

    MISSILE vs GUIDED BOMB


    The missiles can be guided along their path to lead towards the target and its path is agile

    Whereas in a guided bomb is dogmatic and jus follows a particular trajectory to hit the target

    GUIDANCE SYSTEM
    -The brain of the missile The guidance system differentiates the missile from a guided bomb. It acts as the brain of the missile.

    COMPONENTS OF GUIDANCE SYSTEM

    TYPES OF GUIDANCE SYSTEMS EMPLOYED IN GUIDING MISSILES


    WIRE GUIDED MISSILES INERTIAL GUIDED MISSILES TERRESTRIAL COMPARISION GUIDED MISSILES COMMAND GUIDED MISSILES CELESTIAL GUIDED MISSILES BEAM RIDER SEMI-ACTIVE LASER HOMING GUIDANCE

    FUNCTIONS OF GUIDANCE SYSTEMS


    TARGET SEEKER POSITIONAL INFORMATION SPEED INFORMATION DISTANCE INFORMATION

    PHASES OF GUIDANCE
    BOOST PHASE MID-COURSE PHASE TERMINAL PHASE

    HOMING GUIDANCE SYSTEM


    Its the most efficient and accurate type of guidance system as of now. In this kind of technology the missiles points itself towards the target by itself. Its also called TWO POINT GUIDANCE SYSTEM Its regarded as the fire-and-forget technology

    TYPES OF HOMING GUIDANCE


    ACTIVE HOMING GUIDANCE SEMI-ACTIVE HOMING GUIDANCE PASSIVE HOMING GUIDANCE RETRANSMISSION HOMING GUIDANCE

    ACTIVE HOMING GUIDANCE


    Both the receiver and transmitter are equipped in the missile ADVANTAGES Highly costly and sophisticated technology Regarded as fireand-forget technology

    Used in????

    LIMITATIONS
    Has countermeasures Very much prone to errors due to very Circuitry in the missile Limited to short range targets

    ..

    SEMI-ACTIVE HOMING GUIDANCE


    External transmitter is used and the receiver is in the missile Uses highly directional antenna. ADVANTAGES Used for very long range targets Used in SPARROW III and PHOENIX

    LIMITATIONS
