在国外,基于图像的自动目标识别技术已从早期对空目标的武器系统逐步应用到反舰和对地大型固定目标的武器系统中。在ATR技术实用化之前,美国SLAM采用人在回路方式。AGM-84 H/K(SLAM-ER)是世界上第一种进入实战应用的ATR导弹系统,SLAM和SLAM-ER是ATR技术实用化的分水岭[3]。SLAM-ER采用模板匹配算法将红外导引头实时获取图像与任务规划时存储的基准图进行比较,从场景中自动捕获目标,为驾驶员提供实时目标引导。美国的LRASM反舰导弹采用主动/被动雷达和红外成像制导体制,如图1所示,首先利用被动射频传感器的数据识别并跟踪舰船目标,然后通过弹载雷达接收的回波信号与存储的目标三维模型进行匹配识别敌方舰艇,在末段,综合雷达和红外图像数据提取目标要害点进行攻击,是自动目标识别在多模复合制导技术的典型应用[4-5]。针对地面大型固定目标,如美国的SLAM-ER空地导弹、JASSM空地导弹,英国的风暴阴影导弹,德国的KEPD-350空地导弹等,射程都超过了300 km,采用基于模板匹配技术,实现对被攻击目标的自动识别和捕获,获得10 m以内的CEP (Circular Error Probable)命中精度。在针对地面移动目标的应用中,美国GBU-53/B小直径炸弹Ⅱ (SDBⅡ)验证了从诱饵中识别出目标的能力,实现了运动目标的自动检测、捕获和跟踪,达到了3 m CEP的精度水平,为战术飞机打击移动/可重新定位目标和静止目标提供了新技术、新手段[6-8]。SPICE-250炸弹最大射程超过100 km,采用图像末制导,集成了移动目标探测和预打击自动识别能力,飞行员选择要攻击的目标分配给某一炸弹,并向目标附近发射,惯导系统进行初始制导,在接近目标区域,炸弹使用ATR模式识别目标,自主截获锁定并追踪选定目标[9],命中精度CEP小于3 m,如图2所示。在国内的防空、空空、反舰和对地固定目标打击等导弹或炸弹的图像末制导应用中,已经从完全人在回路逐渐发展到了发射前锁定、发射后不管模式,实现了基于模板匹配目标识别,自动目标捕获跟踪功能,具备了防区外远程精确打击能力。典型的ATR图像末制导应用如表1所示。

Abstract: The engineering application of automatic target recognition is the key technology to realize the long-range and precise strike after the image terminal-guided missile is launched. The development history, identification method, technical level and application effect of automatic target recognition of precision-guided weapons at home and abroad are summarized. The recognition methods and application scenes based on target features and template matching are analysed, and two types of engineering verification effective methods are identified. The automatic target recognition method combines the automatic target recognition process, such as task planning, main execution content, and the impact of planning quality on different recognition methods. To meet the needs of intelligent development of precision guided weapons in the future, the engineering application of deep learning recognition technology has become a new trend. To solve the balance problem between the efficiency and application accuracy of deep learning algorithms, this paper focuses on the analysis of network pruning, weight quantization, and low rank. The key technologies of real-time acceleration inference such as approximation and knowledge distillation; for network model training, ideas for effectively solving problems such as insufficient training samples or difficulty in obtaining military target samples are proposed. With the wide application of multiband and multimode composite guidance technology, information fusion provides a new technical approach for the engineering application of target recognition. How to adapt to various complex scenes and artificial active interference is a major challenge for image terminal guidance. The robustness of target recognition under interference conditions is expounded, which is an engineering problem that needs to be urgently solved in the application of automatic target recognition technology in image terminal guidance.
