The implementation of an autonomous smart weapon system, such as surface/air-to-air or surface/air-to-ground missiles presents an engineering challenge to the system and seeker/sensor designers. This is due to a wide variety of targets, backgrounds, countermeasures, and weather conditions expected for each scenario. The seeker/sensor design requires engineering tradeoffs by the designers, such as size constraints, detection/tracking performance, and search volume to name a few. All of these tradeoffs tend to ...
