Advanced Cruise Missile guidance system description

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.<
