The U.S. Navy has expended considerable effort on the development of microwave radiometric (MICRAD) terrain-sensing guidance. Early developments utilized continuous map-matching and in some cases man-in-the-loop techniques to accomplish guidance. Techniques from radar correlators and other terrain-sensing guidance systems were incorporated. The development proceeded from the early, analog, map-matching systems to the current digital update systems. This paper outlines the development of MICRAD terrain-sensing guidance by the Navy. It describes the origins of the concept, its early laboratory implementations, history of flight tests, and current status.
