Abstract :
This paper provides a functional description of the navigation and guidance system in the Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM), one of the Air Force´s newest stealth missiles. It also discusses some of the areas of improvement over the Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM). The Kalman Filter design accommodates velocity updates, including lateral velocities, and a nominal number of position updates from terrain correlation matching (TERCOM) to achieve a high accuracy, long range mission
