Missile Guidance and Targeting Processes in Modern Warfare

doi: 10.32567/hm.2025.3.1

Abstract

The missile guidance and targeting focuses on the application of advanced technology and complex mathematical models. During the guidance process, dynamic factors such as velocity, weather conditions and target movement characteristics must be taken into account. During target engagement, missiles are able to adapt in real time to the target's motion, optimising trajectory and manoeuvring. The processes also include the use of predictive algorithms and machine learning to improve the precision and efficiency of the missiles. For the industrial and scientific community, the continued development of missile guidance systems is vital to maintain global security and technological competitiveness. The use of drones in missile guidance and targeting processes offers revolutionary new perspectives that can significantly improve accuracy.
