How missile guidance systems work
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Have you ever wondered how guided missiles operate with such deadly and precise accuracy? If you have ever heard of the Iron Dome, then you are familiar with different types of missile guidance.
These types of military weapons include fox one, fox two, fox three, supersonic cruise missiles, and intercontinental ballistic missiles. The question now is what is this advanced and futuristic technology that dates back to World War II?
One of the most important parts of a guided missile is its guidance system. This system enables the vehicle to reach its destination by combining target location information with navigation information.
When it comes to missile guidance, there are five basic methods that come into use: command, inertial, active, semi-active, and passive.
The next step after honing in on its target is target destruction. There are several methods that can be used to determine when a missile should explode eviscerating its target.
The first is on impact and the second uses radar, sound waves, a magnetic sensor, or a laser to detonate the warhead when the target is within a specified distance.
Have these facts piqued your curiosity yet? Do you want to know more about missile guidance and target destruction? Are you curious to find out about every part of a guided missile and what role it plays in its execution?

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't, and if follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it know where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

Where and how to code that missile
This video is perfect example of what you can get by throwing just technical terms and some video. Nothing is explained about how actually they track.
The missile has sensors and perhaps communication input of external sensors. Those provide location input to the missile, in the form of bearings or distances. The text describes how it uses that information from moment to moment to get where it needs to be.
@@Valenorious bro speak english
@@margelatul2001 Nah, I get what he said
Exactly 😂
There is no any sensitive information
just a lot of talking
Its just an overview of all the different components and methods
The missile knows where it is, because it knows where isn't. And vice-versa.
How does it find its target?
@@tmo2798
Depends on the seeker but generally, it gets the initial target data from the launching system. The seeker can then cross reference the data it receives to the target data and find the target. Once found, a lock is confirmed and the missile can be fired. What it's ultimately looking for is that hot spot and how that looks. You can then track it by checking the deviations in the next data. If it's similar enough, you keep that as your reference and keep flying. Do this enough times and you'll hit your target soon enough.
@@YoRHaAttackerNo2 Something that [absolutely] looks most similar to specified destination. Wow. They're useless before they exited the gate. "Switches EVERYWHERE". The homing systems ... ... They'll detonate at the launching site, man. WOw. The 'finder' is much more efficient. Costs less, takes bribes, in fact. Red, Yellow, White, and Blue. Hammers, sickles, and oh... Stars and stripes. Same team. The INABILITY to counter is science fiction. It's 'lobbying' at best. At worst, we lose a 'finder', and that's not 'remote viewing'. Ingo Swann conned lots of fossils that should've been buried before their headstone was made. It'll get hot either way. RIP Alex.
Were you dumb enough to make about 100 accounts to vouch for that? YOU'RE the missle man. You wouldn't run a mainline. YOU'D be a missile.
Even if the 'creators' were autistic. Yes, 'creators', not the 'funders', were very anti-social.... Let's just find out. Let's call. There's no way. It's not plausible. It's a bunch of BS. No. Would the 'switch' close [to detonate] upon land-pressure or location proximity? No. Neither. It's a big mess. People think they're smart. Me, too. But let's actually think about it. Prereq.: Born AFTER '65, and uses correct grammar. THAT'S IT. BONUS: Second part ONLY. ... Dinosaurs allowed.
Sometimes the missile doesn't know where it is, or where it isn't, or even where it once was. But that's OK, because the missile still knows what its ultimate mission is and it will fulfill it at any cost.
Wow you're able to ramble and babble in the end make no sense whatsoever nor provide any information... excellent work there DG

The complexity of these systems is insane. There is so much going on in there and its all in real time and across multiple endpoints, moving at crazy speeds. Truly transcendental.
Think so.. you might be quite surprised what a Aurdino and a Pi can do with a few servos and sensors.. But what the Russians are really demonstrating is how unprepared the Ukie regime, NATO and the west are if such were applied against them. The Russians learn about this in Syria and 23mm (x135mm) is still a serious round with capabilities that can for-fill the mission (timed and 'enhanced' detonation cycles). 30mm is overkill, but equally effective (if enhanced). Direct hit not required.
@@tsclly2377 Ukraine and Nato aswell might just be missing proper air defense systems.
@@hepteropterix Spoken like a US congress person.. I hope you are paid well for your proffered opinions. NATO is an empty shell and it's MICs loves it that way.. Nothing is made to quantity that would sustain a month of heavy combat and the stuff is all gadgets that is overpriced and too technology dependent. The US does not have a real army anymore.
Mind boggling how creative humans can be when it comes to inventing instruments of death and destruction.
yeah
World's oldest art form
It’s scary
The missile know where it is and where it isn’t. By subtracting where it was from where it is it can find the deviation.
that actually makes sense
Is that from the Bosnian Ape Society shredded-cheese-man video?
The missile knows where it is by knowing where it isn't. Sounds like a motivational quote
Someone did make a motivational speech out of it xD ruclips.net/video/56vtZsQgAF0/видео.html
A rocket is 80% swoosh, 20% boom-boom.
A guided missile is 80% swoosh, 15% boom-boom, and 5% beep-beep.
A bomb or shell? No beep-beep. No swoosh. Just 100% boom-boom.

Lmao, doing some trolling about other comments I can see
Why are we making engineering majors waste time taking a basic writing class >:(
Engineers when they have to write:
You point it to the enemy armored weapons and then the smart precision missile hits a children hospital.
And that's how guided missiles work!
sure
Atleast Russian and most missiles sent to the middle east
@@toptiergaming6900 Hurray? They are killing some people in the middle east so that makes them ok. What is the purpose of using "atleast". Just pathetic.
@@masoodjalal1152 not all missiles are. Some actually work as intended. Just not 50% US Airstrikes in the middle east or any Russian missiles
I knew you were going to skip the explanation on how inertial guidance works.
Too difficult for you to explain is it? No mention of distance, velocity, acceleration and the relationship between them.
And they don't use GPS. GPS guidance is very different to inertial guidance.
Do your job properly!
Exactly right. Inertial guidance is mechanical navigation, while GPS is electromagnetic navigation. They're two completely different navigation systems.
Peace: the best deadly weapon in the world!
How is peace deadly lmao
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
Probably that's why we avoid it. Lol
@@mikebeemd7296 you mean i ever read ?
Nah. The RPG is the most deadly weapon. Nothing can withstand an RPG
Astral-inertial guidance should have been mentioned as its common on icbms and an interesting system.
Yeah Nav is much much much more complicated than explained. There are probably at least 3 external reference nav correction systems on systems like these
He never even explained inertial guidance properly. This video is crap.
Any relevant information *at all* should've been mentioned.
"The missle knows where it is because it knows where it isn't"
Thanks for the tutorial, I will use this to make sure no ballistic missiles hit my house.
there are a lot of very different systems you didn't even scratch the surface
I only clicked on this video to go to the comment section to see some pretty boy that had copy and pasted the whole “ the missile knows where it is“
The usage of stinger missiles has brought me much joy and satisfaction. 👍
Pretty bad that a reconstruction from MH17 was used in this video :( (4:18)
My brother says pigeon controlls the missiles
That's a lot of words to say that the missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn't.
It all gets worse when the missile knows where you are…
0:01 world's fastest supersonic cruise missile, "Brahmos"🇮🇳, with speed of 2.8m
Only nahi hai
Thats onyx's test....but ya its looks similar since brahmos is based upon p 800
Why people call it world's fastest?
There are already hypersonic cruise missiles in the militaries.
@@TheInreamir Brahmos is still the fastest CM which is under mass production and has also been operationally deployed, across ships, fighter-bombers, and land-based platforms (in desert, plains and Himalayan sectors)
The Russian 3M22 Tsirkon is actually faster, but it has just entered production and is yet to be widely deployed under operational or combat conditions, like Brahmos.
Most other hypersonic CM systems are under development. None have been mass manufactured or operationally deployed.
Hence Brahmos is still referred as the fastest cruise missile. Although it will be overtaken by the Tsirkon, eventually.
The Brahmos - II will again look to match or overmatch Tsirkon class missiles. But it is under development.
0:36 they where actually very ineffective compared to a normal plane when you consider the costs but it was really the only method they had at the time
My dream is to work on one of these one day these missiles have caught my eye since I was a kid
Imagine being the first guided missile target.. they probably couldn't believe what they were seeing, wondering why the missile is chasing them
The missile knows where it is at all times
I feel like this video didn't tell me how missile guidance systems work. It told me what they are, how they come together, what they do but not how they actually work.
Some of the comments are gold and I feel for the one explaining it knows where it because it knows where it isn’t.
Basically all you need is satellites and closed program environment and that’s it. It has gyroscopes, gps, and A.I intelligence to route for flexibility to target. 😂
i hope the missiles use eco friendly fuel and do not pollute our skies
Yeah, me too.
I don’t think militaries care about the environment, I don’t think ANY military would approve anything that can affects their effectiveness in warfare. That’s why you don’t see eco friendly stuffs in any military.
thank you for this sir, the people of north korea thank you.
the missile knows where it is all the time
A missiles knows where it is, by knowing where it isn't and by knowing where it isn't it knows where it is
1:14 Please tell me the operators console makes that same "DING!" sound if the missile hits the target.
Perfect for my plans!
A missile is not guided bomb. But a guided rocket. The bomb is the explosive warhead or package. The flight control system is responsible for correct the flight path of the rocket to correct it path to the target.
Thank you for the amazing tutorial!
That feeling when you clicked on the video and already knew what the top comment would be😂
Kim jong Un DEFINATELY watched this lmao

thx for this video! it's VERY interesting
What an wonderful thing humankind created
Again...all roads lead back to Germany in World War 2. German Engineering was light years ahead of our time.
Too bad their economy and industry couldn’t kept up with the Allies, a good thing actually judging by what kind of society Germany was back in the 1930s and 1940s
The voice in this video honestly feels unsettling. Is it a real person or an early version of AI voice, yet an unusually well done one for the time?
If it is a real person, they must have made him record each sentence separately, which is bloody weird. The target destruction part where the missile detonates on a Boeing passenger plane just adds to the unsettling feeling
F.B.I open up (how to make guided MISSILE)
How does it track a moving target?
Depends on what ur target is, I only know about aircrafts
Camera, sensor and recognition Algorithm, and optical flow algorithm
This is very generalized concept, but anyway the computer in the misslle is always comparing picture taken before and the current picture. it can be thermal picture (heat seeker), or any type of electromagnetic spectrum. So the computer recognize the target then track that target. obviously the computer needs to accounted the 2D image movement and transform it to 3D movement. Like , if the recognize pattern is getting bigger it means it getting closer.
Your phone actually has a same feature, face autofocus. It almost work at the same principle
pardon my english
@@mickolesmana5899 lol what an absolute bullshit of a statement.
So why does one of the depictions of the timing of detonation depict a detonation sending shrapnel into a civilian aircraft cockpit? (4:19)
I'm all for military technology, but that simulation just seems.... Odd.
Even worse, it's a depiction of a russian missile hitting flight MH17, killing almost 300.

If you didn't know the difference between a "rocket" and a "missle", then this video may serve as an impression based introduction.
In my language, a missile is a guided rocket. Is it the same in English?
@@axanarahyanda628 In general sense, yes. But, English is such an in precise language that the distincition is not clear cut. Rockets can refer to launch vehicles that sent humans to moons or the most expensive object in human history (james web) to a million miles away. V2 is referred to as a rocket, but it was guided.
In another spectrum, "missle weapons" somes were used to refer to bows and arrow.
English is a F**Ked up language, this what you get for being successively invaded by different empires and got taken over, and then, becoming an empire yourself and took over all those other places.
@@ylstorage7085 Thanks for the info. I think I'll stick to the general definition and blame English in case I'm wrong^^
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”

It's a good thing he definitely didn't preside over the Korean War and other Cold War conflicts then.

But what mechanism do guided missiles change their direction?
I once heard "proportional navigation".
They have fins that they use the control their attitude and generate lift. They then maneuver like very inefficient aircraft
@@dsdy1205 I find it difficult to imagine how fins can be sufficient to make stable turns at high speeds. I wish there was clear information available to explain this.

There are two way , one way is use reverberator or large screen TV as ground guide the second way is guide by program flight pathe and update by Boeing or cars or phone to correct flight

4:22 So you’re telling me missiles can track me with something called D-SMACS
its the missile guidance system btch im about to show you why the US doesn't have free healthcare
So, what's the answer to the question in the title? How exactly missile guidance system works? How air-air missile knows how to intercept enemy's missile? What happens if it sees two missiles? Or none missiles at all? Where it goes then?
So if a missile detects the target using emission or heat waves
In a war situation, how does it know if it us the enemy aircraft or ours?
It doesn't
Why do Americans need those? Don't they have Spiderman, Catwoman, Aquaman ? 🤪
powers are limited by the stamina,morale and physical capabilities
Bro I’m here cause I was recently playing cyberpunk 2077 and I came across a smart pistol. A pistol that could accurately track a target and hit it. I immediately thought we already have “smart rockets” so to speak could homing bullets work? Could they be a thing? I had to know so I came here so see what goes into a guided missile
modern day ICBM aren't guided by GPS, they use the star constellations in the sky, that way if satellites go down and they still fire and target.
