US12723845 - Methods and device for autonomous missile control
The present disclosure provides methods for controlling a guided missile to account for environmental uncertainties and maintain optimal mission performance and minimize error in hitting a defined target anywhere on Earth. First, sensors collect data about the missile's environment, passing the information to storage in the missile's database and processor. Second, the missile's processor manipulates the database with a deep reinforcement learning algorithm producing instructions. Third, the instructions command the missile's control system for optimal control, target engagement, and impact by manipulating the missile's thrust vectors for guidance. In short, the disclosure provides methods for autonomous missile control which command the missile from launch to target with certainty regardless of weather conditions, environment dynamics, or defensive missile interference.
