Research on Intercepting Strategy of Multiple Kill Vehicle in Midcourse Defense Based on Multi-Sensors Fusion Method

Abstract The multiple kill vehicle (MKV) interceptor consists of a carrier vehicle and some small kill vehicles which can intercept multiple targets independently. According to the mission of midcourse interception for multiple warheads of long-range ballistic missile, this paper focused on the design and optimization of cooperative detection and guidance strategy. Based on multi-sensors fusion technology, the method of high-accuracy position measurement and view expansion of infrared sensors are proposed. The terminal guidance law is analyzed based on the data obtained by the methods. A digital real-time simulation system is developed to verify the feasibility of the method.
