The future of missile guidance will depend heavily on signal processing technology. Expected mission requirements will demand autonomous weapons. APL has set the pace for developments in this area, taking the approach that missiles must use image-based signal processing and intelligent sensors. Current missile-guidance functions such as detection and tracking of point targets already have been developed successfully. New signal processing developments must meet new system requirements to resolve accurately the location and physical structure of targets. These processors also must decide what action to take on the basis of target identification. We present in this article two advanced concepts under investigation at APL that promise to support future missile-guidance needs.
