Laser guided missile

The laser-guided missile shown in Figure 2.19 has a piteh moment of inertia of 90kgm. The eontrol fins produee a moment about the piteh mass eentre of 360 Nm per radian of fin angle (3 t). The fin positional eontrol system is deseribed by the differential equation...

Laser-guided bombing. A guidance concept devised developed by MICOM (US Army Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama) scientists applicable to bombs, rockets, missiles St artillery shells. The Army technology Si experimental hardware were subsequently used by the Air Force to develop their laser-guided " smart bomb" Army Navy laser-guided missiles have demonstrated unprecedented accuracy in dozens of applications (Ref 3)...

Other uses of lasers include eye surgery on detached retinas, spot welding, holography, isotope separation, accurate determination of the moon s orbit by reflection of laser light off a reflector placed on the moon s surface, and laser-guided bombs and missiles. Possible future uses include terrestrial and extraterrestrial communication, applications to computers, and production of the high temperatures needed for controlled nuclear-fusion reactions.

Optical Fibers. Pure and doped fused siHca fibers have replaced copper lines in the telecommunication area. Eused siHca fibers are used in laser surgery, optical sensor appHcation, and laser welding (see Sensors). Optical-fiber-tethered weapons such as fiber-optics-guided (EOG) missiles are another potential appHcation for fused siHca (249,250) (see Eiberoptics). 

Since the 1990 s, technological advances, such as laser, radar, and Global Positioning Systems, have been used to guide smart bombs and fire-and-forget missile systems, which have lessened the importance of field artillery.
