Abstract

The work reviews the development history, application status and future development trends of guided aerial bombs. Firstly, it sorts out the technological evolution process and stage characteristics, as well as typical combat application scenarios and combat effectiveness of guided aerial bombs in modern local wars. On this basis, it focuses on discussing the driving mechanism of the form evolution of IT-based warfare, changes in complex and strong confrontation battlefield environments, and breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies on the development of guided aerial bombs, revealing the core law of their evolution from traditional unguided ammunition to intelligent and precise damage ammunition. In terms of development trends, it deeply expounds on the research progress in six core directions of system coordination informatization, intelligent autonomy, platform adaptation refinement, guidance capability robustness, mission adaptation modularization, and architecture openness. It particularly emphasizes the core role of combat demand traction and technological innovation drive in the iterative upgrade of guided aerial bombs. Finally, based on the current technical bottlenecks and future combat demands of guided aerial bombs, it looks forward to their subsequent development directions and key technological breakthroughs.
