INTRODUCTION: :
INTRODUCTION: In order to maintain peace in any nation politics is not enough in excess to this we want
some offensive as well as defensive weapons which will help us at the time of terrorists attack like situation
etc. one such weapons is missiles.

WHAT IS MEANT BY TERM “MISSILE”? :

WHAT IS MEANT BY TERM “MISSILE”? A missile is a self-propelled projectile used as a weapon .Missiles
are typically propelled by rockets or jet engines. They have more than one war heads.

ETYMOLOGY: :
ETYMOLOGY: The word missile comes from the Latin verb mittere, meaning “to send”. In Military
application it means a powered, guided munitions . Rockets are called as powered, unguided munitions.

HISTORY OF MISSILES :
HISTORY OF MISSILES The first missiles to be used operationally were a series of German missiles of
WW2 Most famous of these are the V1 and V2, both of which used a simple mechanical autopilot to keep
the missile flying along a pre-chosen route Less well known were a series of anti-shipping and anti-aircraft
missiles, typically based on a simple radio control system directed by the operator

GUIDANCE SYSTEM: :
GUIDANCE SYSTEM: Missiles may be targeted in a number of ways. The most common method is to use
some form of radiation, such as infra-red, lasers or radio waves, to guide the missile onto its target. The first
two are often known as fire and forget as they need no further support or control from the launch
vehicle/platform in order to function Another method is to use a TV camera - using either visible light or infra-
red - in order to see the target. The picture may be used either by a human operator who steers the missile
onto its target, or by a computer doing much the same job. Many missiles use a combination of two or more
of the above methods, to improve accuracy and the chances of a successful engagement.

TARGETING SYSTEM: :
TARGETING SYSTEM: Another method is to target the missile by knowing the location of the target, and
using a guidance system such as INS, TERCOM or GPS. This guidance system guides the missile by
knowing the missile's current position and the position of the target, and then calculating a course between
them. This job can also be performed somewhat crudely by a human operator who can see the target and
the missile, and guides it using either cable or radio based remote-control.

FLIGHT SYSTEM: :
FLIGHT SYSTEM: Whether a guided missile uses a targeting system, a guidance system or both, it needs a
flight system. The flight system uses the data from the targeting or guidance system to maneuver the missile
in flight, allowing it to counter inaccuracies in the missile or to follow a moving target. There are two main
systems: vectored thrust and aerodynamic maneuvering .

ENGINE: :
ENGINE: Missiles are powered by an engine, generally either a type of rocket or jet engine . Rockets are
generally of the solid fuel type for easy maintenance and fast deployment, although some larger ballistic
missiles use liquid fuel rockets. Jet engines are generally used in cruise missiles, most commonly of the
turbojet type, due to its relative simplicity and low frontal area. Missiles often have multiple engine stages,
particularly in those launched from the ground - these stages may all be of similar types or may include a
mix of engine types.

WARHEAD: :
WARHEAD: The warhead of a missile provides its primary destructive power (many missiles have extensive
secondary destructive power due to the high kinetic energy of the weapon and unburnt fuel that may be on
board). Warheads are most commonly of the high explosive type, often employing shaped charges to exploit
the accuracy of a guided weapon to destroy hardened targets.

BRIEF NOTE OF THE MISSILE COMPONENTS: :

BRIEF NOTE OF THE MISSILE COMPONENTS: Missiles have explosive material varying from missile to
missile. Which is protected by very hard outer metal coating. It has a fuel injection system and propulsion
system to travel the required distance. The guidance system is the brain of the missile. The armament
section carries the explosive charge of the missile. The fusing and firing system by which the charge is
exploded. The propulsion section provides the force that propels the missile.

SURFACE-TO-SURFACE MISSILE :
SURFACE-TO-SURFACE MISSILE It is a missile designed to be launched from the ground to destroy
aircraft.

AIR-TO-AIR MISSILE: :
AIR-TO-AIR MISSILE: It is a guided missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying another
aircraft

AIR-TO-SURFACE MISSILE: :
AIR-TO-SURFACE MISSILE: It is a missile that is designed to be launched from military aircraft to strike a
ground targets such as warships, military camps and many more.

ANTI-SUBMARINE MISSILES: :
ANTI-SUBMARINE MISSILES: It is a guided missile tasked with to destroy the ships and submarine from
another similar one.

ADVANCED GUIDANCE CONCEPTS: :

ADVANCED GUIDANCE CONCEPTS: Nowadays in this advanced world we could use
the help of satellites to target the objects. And it could be also guided by the means of
Global Positioning System concepts.
Artificial Intelligence In Missile Technology
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MISSILE TECHNOLOGY

Abstract:
The development, strength, economy and progress depends on the status of the
Defence, This paper deals with various generations of computer where the fifth
generation computers use Artificial Intelligence. A few applications of Artificial
Intelligence used in various technologies have also been discussed. The main
focus of paper is on chaser missiles, which implements the missile technology
using Artificial Intelligence. The Anupama processor designed in India can be
used in chasers. This shows the development of Artificial Intelligence in Indian
defence systems. The On-Board Computer department of RCI and ASL of DRDO
are working on similar missile technology mostly on the guidance systems for
Agni, Trishul, Akash and NAG along with which even the Chaser using the AI
technology

CONCLUSION: :
CONCLUSION: With this I conclude my topic by saying that missile are harmful for happy and peaceful life,
but in today’s world there is more amount of terrorism prevailing out as well as threat from the neighboring
countries .In these conditions if required we can use it for the welfare of our own country men.
