Optimization of Missile Aiming Points for Shooting a Rectangular Area Target

Optimization of missile aiming points is an important and complex problem in shooting an area Target. In this paper, aiming at the demands of choosing the optimal aiming points for shooting a rectangular area target, the Pattern search method for finding the optimal aiming points is presented, the general procedure is given, on the above works, a more accurate algorithm for choosing missile aiming Points is proposed through fusing a symmetrical search policy. The results of this paper can provide support for choosing the optimal aiming points and improve missile’s damage effectiveness.
