Wrong. Precision guidance technology usually has a direct hit probability of more than 50%, which can only be infinitely close to 100, and it absolutely cannot achieve a 100% accurate hit.
The main characteristics of precision guidance technology are:
① Short production time and fast development speed. Although precision guidance technology was produced after World War II, it developed very rapidly and had a huge impact on weapons and equipment, combat methods, national defense construction, and the development of the national economy.
②Wide range of applications. Precision guidance technology has been applied not only in the development of missile weapons, but also in the construction of the army, navy, air force and other fields such as military aerospace and electronic warfare.
③Has high-tech characteristics. For example, it has the characteristics of high precision, acquisition of various information, rapid control response and intelligent information processing. Each weapon system that specifically applies precision guidance technology is a complex of military high-tech and represents the most cutting-edge Military high-tech achievements.
④ It played an epoch-making role in the development of weapons and equipment. The development of precision guidance technology has not only accelerated the development of guided weapons in the direction of long-range, serialization, intelligence, miniaturization, high speed and low cost, but has also become the basic technology of information warfare and information weapons.
⑤ Can be used both military and civilian. Many research results in the field of precision guidance technology have been directly applied to industrial fields such as industrial control, communications and navigation, medical equipment, and food processing, promoting the development of the national economy.
⑥Reflects the development level of national military technology. With the in-depth development of the new military revolution, the development level of precision guidance technology has directly represented the development level of national military technology.
Extended information
Weapon combat characteristics
(1) High probability of direct hit, which is the fundamental origin of the name of precision-guided weapons and the most basic principle of precision-guided weapons characteristics. At present, the hit probability of some representative precision-guided weapons can reach more than 80%. The circular probability deviation of laser-guided bombs and TV-guided bombs is approximately within 2 meters.
For example, during the Gulf War, the U.S. Air Force launched two "SRAM" air-to-surface missiles at a hydropower station in Iraq 100 kilometers away. As a result, the two missiles penetrated into the power plant through the same hole. , completely destroying the target. There are now precision-guided weapons that rely entirely on the kinetic energy of the projectile to directly crash into the target without the need for a charging warhead.
For example, the high-speed air defense missile developed by British Aerospace Corporation can fly at Mach 4. The missile does not have an explosive warhead. It relies on the kinetic energy of the high-speed flight of the projectile to destroy the target.
(2) With independent guidance capabilities
With the development of electronic technology and the adoption of high-performance millimeter wave guidance systems, infrared detectors and artificial intelligence computers, precision-guided weapons are not only It has a high probability of direct hit, and usually has a "fire and forget" autonomous guidance capability. It can completely rely on the guidance system on the missile to capture, track and hit the target independently, without the need for manual or other auxiliary equipment. intervention.
For example, the US "Wasp" air-to-surface missile already has preliminary intelligent features due to its adoption of artificial intelligence technology and advanced signal processing technology. It can identify whether the target is to be attacked in a complex background. If not, continue to search for the target; if yes, perform further signal analysis to identify and determine whether the detected target is a real target, background or false target.
If it is not a real target, the detector on the bomb will re-search for the target; if it is confirmed to be a real target, it will further determine whether the target is within the killing range of the warhead. If it is within the killing range, the optimal explosion height will be automatically estimated, the warhead will be detonated, and the tank will be destroyed from the top; if it is not within the killing range, the target will continue to be locked and tracked until it enters the effective killing range. .
If more than two missiles are found tracking the same target at the same time, the missile tracked behind will immediately leave automatically, and the detector will re-search, capture, track and attack the new target.
(3) Good combat effectiveness
Although precision-guided weapons are technically more complex than ordinary weapons and have higher manufacturing costs, precision-guided weapons have a higher direct hit probability, so their It has good combat effectiveness and high economic benefits. Compared with unguided weapons, precision-guided weapons consume less ammunition when completing the same combat mission, and the combat costs required are far lower than conventional ammunition.
In the Anglo-Argentina War, the Argentine Air Force used only a US$250,000 Exocet missile to sink the British Navy's destroyer HMS Sheffield, which cost nearly US$200 million. . In this battle, the Afghan army not only achieved a military victory, but also achieved considerable economic benefits.
