The Development Present and Trend of Intelligent Munitions

Abstract. The improvement of modern science and technology, changes in the form of war, have prompted the development of intelligent munitions. This paper first introduces the concept of intelligent ammunition and classification, then the use and technical parameters of several foreign advanced munitions are summarized. Finally, the paper pointed out the development trend of intelligent ammunition: Emphasize “self-destruction ” function; Diversity development of multipurpose cruise flying bullets; Network cooperative engagement. 1. The background of intelligent munition With the rapid development of modern science and technology, the competition between countries has towards to the high technology. The Vietnam war, the United States used laser guidance and TV guided bombs, made 10 times higher effect than no guided bomb combat; The gulf war, various high-tech weapons were mostly used and have played a great power. As far as the ammunition technology is concerned, with the developments of the modern warfare and computer technology, large scale integrated circuit technology, light electrical technology, how to improve the efficiency of the role of ammunition to the target, accuracy, military reconnaissance, battlefield surveillance become the key of the research, which prompted the ammunition technolog
