Accuracy of Different Modes of Bomb Dropping from Aircraft

Year 2025, Volume: 34, 139 - 150

Abstract

The development of targeting systems is carried out under the influence of the requirements set by
the conditions of combat use of aircraft, which are characterized by high speed and dynamism. The emergence
of new methods for solving the targeting task in targeting systems leads to the expansion of aircraft combat
capabilities, as well as to changes in tactical techniques and maneuvers. Combat tactics themselves also develop
as a result of improving old ones and developing new methods of combat use. To implement the new methods,
it is necessary to improve targeting systems.To solve the targeting task in bomb dropping, the non-program
method is used, implemented on the various existing types of aircraft targeting systems. The non-program
method, depending on the attack modes (horizontal flight, dive, pitch up) and the field of view of the sighting
system, is implemented through the Constantly Computed Release Point (CCRP) and Constantly Computed
Impact Point (CCIP) modes. This article proposes a method for solving the targeting problem when dropping
bombs by angular velocity from horizontal flight and dive.Bomb dropping by angular velocity is a method that
has not been used so far for solving the targeting problem. The moment of bomb dropping is determined by
comparing the angular velocities of tracking the target with the required ones. This method also allows the use
of container type targeting systems. All this expands the areas of combat use of aircraft.To study the targeting
process and determine the errors of bomb dropping, mathematical modelling of the targeting process is
performed using the CCRP and CCIP modes for bomb dropping as well as bomb dropping by angular velocity.
The probabilistic characteristics of the dropping error are determined, and a comparative analysis of the same is
performed for different methods of bomb dropping.
