Analysis of the Impact of the Target Illumination Time on the Effectiveness of the Flight Trajectory Correction System

This paper presents method of flight simulations for released laser guided bomb. Calculations were performed using six-degrees-of-freedom mathematical model of a bomb motion. Aerodynamics of the bomb was calculated using commercial software. Control laws were determined on the basis of signals detected by two pairs of laser sensors. Exemplary results of numerical calculations are submitted and conclusions focused on the main factors influencing on bombing accuracy are shown
