制导技术的改进、战斗部和推进系统的小型化、微处理技术的进步使得发展一种新式的巡航导弹成为可能。潜艇鱼雷管发射密封技术要求发展一种助推器发射的小而轻的导弹也能从空中、地面和舰艇的平台上发射出去。由于精心设计和试验提高了巡航导弹的突防能力,使其不易用目视、雷达、红外以及声学等观测方法来发现。通过弹上传感器不断修正制导量来提高导航精度使得战斗部可用更少的TNT当量并有更小的非必要破坏区。导航精度的提高允许导弹沿低空飞行,这一点和低的可观测性相结合就能使导弹以亚音速穿过严密的防空区时避免付出昂贵的代价。模式化的弹体设计允许使用备份的制导/战斗部组件并随之将发展常规的陆上攻击和反舰用改进型号。 Improvements in guidance technology, miniaturization of warheads and propulsion systems, and advances in microprocessing technology have made it possible to develop a new type of cruise missile. Submarine torpedo tube launch sealing technology requires the development of a booster launch of small and light missiles can also be launched from the air, ground and naval platforms. Due to meticulous design and test, cruise missile’s penetration ability is enhanced, making it hard to find by visual, radar, infrared and acoustic observation methods. Increasing the guidance accuracy by constantly modifying the guidance amount with the missile sensor allows the warhead to use less TNT equivalence and have smaller areas of non-essential damage. The increased navigation accuracy allows missiles to fly at low altitudes, combined with low observability to avoid the expense of passing the missile through subsistent air defense zones at subsonic speeds. The modeled projectile design allows for the use of backup guidance / warhead components and will subsequently develop conventional land attack and anti-ship improvements.
