During the process of the laser target indicator 22 continuously illuminating the target, the emitting direction/angle of the laser emitter 221 may be automatically adjusted according to the diffuse reflection laser signal received by the laser emitter, and may be manually controlled by the user.
The laser target pointer 22 is capable of providing target position information in real time, including a linear distance between the laser target pointer 22 and the target, i.e., a light speed multiplied by half of a time from the emission of the laser light to the reception of the laser light, and further including an irradiation angle of the laser light, which includes a target elevation angle and a target azimuth angle.
The satellite signal receiving unit 23 is a satellite receiver, and can receive satellite signals, so as to obtain the position of the satellite signal receiving unit 23, that is, the position coordinate of the ground laser pointer 2.

A specific calculation process for calculating the position coordinates of the target by using the position information of the target and the position coordinates of the ground laser pointer 2 is known in the art, and the present application is not particularly limited thereto. That is, if the laser detector 222 can obtain the target position information in real time, the target position calculating unit 24 can output the target position coordinates in real time.
Preferably, in the target position calculating unit 24, an O-ZXY right-handed rectangular coordinate system is constructed with the laser target indicator as an origin, the Y-axis points to the sky direction, the X-axis points to the estimated target direction, and the Z-axis is perpendicular to the OXY plane and forms a right-handed rectangular coordinate system with the OXY plane; the target height angle is an included angle formed by a connecting line of the target and the indicator and the projection of the connecting line on the OXZ plane, and the included angle is positive upwards along the Y-axis direction; the target azimuth is the angle between the projection of the indicator and the target connecting line on the OXZ plane and the X axis, and the forward angle along the Z axis is positive.

preferably, the laser detector 222 is further provided with a judging module, which is configured to judge whether the diffuse reflection laser signal is accurate according to a time taken for receiving the diffuse reflection laser signal. The judging module continuously records the time from the laser emission to the diffuse reflection laser signal receiving each time, namely the round trip time, compares the received new round trip time value with the stored previous round trip time value, and considers that the laser signal is diffusely reflected from the target and is accurate when the absolute value of the difference between the two values is less than one seventh of the stored previous round trip time value, and the position information of the target read by the laser signal is also accurate; when the absolute value of the difference is greater than or equal to one-seventh of the last round trip time value stored, the laser signal is considered to be not diffusely reflected from the target and is inaccurate, and the position information of the target read by the laser signal is not available. Every time a laser signal is transmitted and correspondingly received, the operation is called as a group of operation, because two adjacent groups of operations are separated by a period of time, generally about 0.001s, the time is enough for the laser to travel for hundreds of kilometers, the laser signal received in the subsequent operation can not be transmitted in the previous group of operation.

Preferably, the laser target indicator 22 includes a laser emitter 221, a laser detector 222, a light filter 223, a reflector 224 and a spherical housing 225, the laser emitter is used for emitting a laser beam, the laser reflected by the target diffusely passes through the spherical housing, enters the light filter through the reflector, and then focuses on the laser detector 222, and the laser detector gives a deviation of the target, so as to correct the emitting direction of the laser and ensure that the laser can always irradiate the target. As shown in fig. 2, the laser emitter is coaxial with the laser detector, the optical filter, the reflector and the spherical housing, the laser emitter emits a laser beam, the laser reflected by the target in a diffused manner passes through the spherical housing, enters the optical filter through the reflector, is focused on the laser detector, and the laser detector gives a deviation of the target, so that the emission direction of the laser is corrected, and the laser can be ensured to irradiate the target all the time.

To avoid the focused laser energy, a distance is left between the detector and the focal plane. The laser indicator receives the echo energy to form an approximately circular light spot on the detector, the diode receives the light energy of the light spot and outputs a certain photocurrent, and the current is in direct proportion to the coverage area of each quadrant of the light spot.

Preferably, the laser target indicator 22 is started to work once every 0.001s, and can correspondingly obtain target position information once, so as to obtain a target position coordinate, and when the laser target indicator 22 is started to work and cannot directly obtain the target position information, the target capturing unit 21 is controlled to start to work, and simultaneously, a user is reminded.
In a preferred embodiment, the target position coordinates obtained by the ground laser pointer 2 are received by the receiving module 3 in the method.
When the relay module 4 on the aircraft monitors that the laser seeker 1 receives a laser signal of target diffuse reflection, the relay module 4 transmits the bullet eye sight angular velocity provided by the laser seeker 1 to the guidance instruction resolving module so as to resolve the guidance instruction in a guidance mode of proportional guidance.
When the relay module 4 on the aircraft monitors that the laser seeker 1 cannot receive the laser signal diffusely reflected by the target, the relay module 4 calculates the line-of-sight angular velocity of the missile according to the received position coordinate of the target and the position coordinate of the aircraft provided by the satellite receiver on the aircraft, and transmits the line-of-sight angular velocity of the missile to the guidance instruction calculation module.

The target is irradiated through a laser target indicator on the ground laser indicator, and meanwhile, a laser signal diffusely reflected by the target is received, and the position coordinate of the target is calculated.
And after the aircraft is launched and enters the final guide section, when the aircraft is positioned between 1874m and 4043m in the X-axis direction, the laser guide head on the aircraft fails to capture a laser signal, the aircraft calculates the visual line angular speed of the missile according to the received target position coordinate and the aircraft position coordinate, and then the guidance control is carried out continuously through the proportional guidance ratio.
Flight trajectories of the aircraft and the target as shown in fig. 3, it can be seen from fig. 3 that the flight trajectory of the aircraft at a position between 1874m and 4043m in the X-axis direction fluctuates little, and finally the aircraft hits the target.
Comparative example:
the movement locus of the target is set as shown by a dotted line in fig. 4, the movement speed of the target is 150m/s, the movement speed of the aircraft is 800m/s, the position of the aircraft is (0,0) at the beginning of the experiment, the position of the target is (5000,4000), and the aircraft is guided and controlled through proportional guidance guiding and guiding rate.
