Prediction method on the impact point of the cluster bomb based on off-line simulation

Aiming at covering the target area and destroying the target, large amounts of sub-munitions need loading on the cluster bomb. In this paper, the on-line prediction method of the sub-munitions dispersion center which could be used for missile-borne computer is studied. First the method uses off-line simulation to calculate each impact point of sub-munitions. Then the statistical method is used to calculate the sub-munitions dispersion impact point center. Finally, the correspondence between impact point dispersion center and parent shell of the cluster bomb is established. In that way, the missile-borne computer, according to the actual flight status, can predict the location of sub-munitions dispersion centers online. This method improves the cluster bombs impact point prediction accuracy through a large number of off-line calculation. The simulation shows the effectiveness of the method.
