Abstract
In a guiding device, a communication device receives a signal containing detection data of a target, and a processing unit. In the processing unit, a course setting section sets a flight course for a lofted flight based on the detection data, and a guiding section determines a progressing direction based on the flight course and outputs a guidance signal containing the progressing direction. The course setting section sets a first flight course when the flying object is launched. Also, the course setting section changes the first flight course to a second flight course based on the detection data after launching of the flying object.
Claims8
A guiding device comprising:
- a communication device configured to receive a detection signal which contains detection data of a target;
- and
- a processing unit configured to determine a progressing direction of a flying object based on the detection data,
- wherein the processing unit comprises:
- a course setting section configured to set a flight course for a lofted flight based on the detection data when the flying object carries out the lofted flight for the target, wherein the flight course for the lofted flight includes that the flying object accelerates and increases an elevation angle when the flying object carries out the lofted flight;
- and
- a guiding section configured to determine the progressing direction based on the flight course and output a guidance signal which contains data showing the progressing direction, and
- wherein the course setting section is configured:
- to set a first flight course as the flight course when the flying object is launched;
- and
- to change the flight course from the first flight course to a second flight course based on the detection data after launching of the flying object.

A flying object comprising:
- a guiding device;
- and
- a steering device configured to control a progressing direction of the flying object in response to a guidance signal,
- wherein the guiding device comprises:
- a communication device configured to receive a detection signal which contains detection data of a target;
- and
- a processing unit configured to determine the progressing direction of the flying object based on the detection data,
- wherein the processing unit comprises:
- a course setting section configured to set a flight course for a lofted flight based on the detection data when the flying object carries out the lofted flight for the target, wherein the flight course for the lofted flight includes that the flying object accelerates and increases an elevation angle when the flying object carries out the lofted flight;
- and
- a guiding section configured to determine the progressing direction based on the flight course and output the guidance signal which contains data showing the progressing direction, and
- wherein the course setting section is configured:
- to set a first flight course as the flight course when the flying object is launched;
- and
- to change the flight course from the first flight course to a second flight course based on the detection data after launching of the flying object.
12 more elements
A guiding method comprising:
- setting a first flight course for a lofted flight when a flying object carries out the lofted flight for a target based on detection data of the target in case of launching the flying object, wherein the flight course for the lofted flight includes that the flying object accelerates and increases an elevation angle when the flying object carries out the lofted flight;
- determining a progressing direction of the flying object based on the first flight course, to output a guidance signal which contains data showing the progressing direction;
- changing a flight course from the first flight course to a second flight course for the lofted flight when the flying object carries out the lofted flight for the target based on the detection data, after launching of the flying object;
- and
- determining the progressing direction based on the second flight course, to output a guidance signal which contains data showing the progressing direction.
