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;
- 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;
- 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.
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;
- 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.
