System and method for hitting a target in a cluster

摘要

A system and method for hitting a target in a cluster of targets (14). The method includes acquiring intelligence relating to the location of the cluster of targets (14) and transmitting the intelligence. The method then involves launching a bomb or missile (10), the bomb or missile (10) including a navigational system for providing information regarding the position of the bomb or missile (10) during a first portion of the flight of the bomb or missile (10) and a mechanism for controlling the trajectory of the bomb or missile (10) based on the information regarding the position of the bomb or missile (10) and the intelligence relating to the location of the cluster of targets (14) during the first portion of the flight of the bomb or missile (10). The bomb or missile (10) further includes a mechanism for selecting a sector or a target within the cluster of targets (14) during a subsequent portion of the flight and a mechanism for controlling the trajectory of the bomb or missile (10) during the subsequent portion of the flight of the bomb or missile (10).
