An Advanced Future Point Prediction Approach for Gliding Targets Leveraging Pose Estimation

In modern warfare, glide-guided bomb targets have become one of the critical threats to terminal defense of key areas. Improving the future point prediction accuracy of fire control systems for these targets is a key challenge in modern air defense fire control calculations. This paper proposes an improved future point prediction method for glide-guided bomb targets based on attitude determination. By introducing the Interacting Multiple Model into the current position estimation phase of the method, the matching degree between the motion model and the maneuvering target trajectory is enhanced. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a 25.5%-57.4% improvement in future point prediction accuracy compared to traditional approaches. This study provides an effective solution approach for trajectory forecasting of gliding guided bomb targets.
