METHOD FOR COMPENSATING FOR BORESIGHT ERROR IN MISSILES WITH COMPOSITE RADOMES AND GUIDANCE SECTION WITH BORESIGHT ERROR COMPENSATION

摘要

Embodiments of a guidance section that compensates for boresight error (BSE) caused by effects of a composite radome. The guidance section includes a BSE compensation element to add high-pass filtered noise to compensated BSE data. The guidance section also includes and a Kalman filter to generate line-of-sight rate (LOSR) BSE noise from the compensated BSE data and the added high-pass filtered noise. In some embodiments, a method for generating a revised BSE correction matrix is provided. The revised BSE correction matrix may compensate for BSE caused by effects in the composite radome and may correct for relative target velocity error.
