To increase the effectiveness of a glide-bomb attack, it must be able to control the direction in which it strikes the target. Since glide bombs have different characteristics from missiles, it would not be suitable to attack at the high speed; so, it is not appropriate to use the guidance laws for the typical missiles directly. While there are many similarities with TAEM guidance for re-entry vehicle, implementation on glide bombs can degrade the performance. This paper takes into consideration the characteristics of glide bomb well and proposes a robust and straightforward guidance scheme, which is also proper for an unpowered aerial vehicle. This scheme guides the vehicle to reach the ‘target window’ controlling in the desired direction with adequate potential and kinetic energy, even in strong winds. At the end of this paper, the flight tests prove the practicality of this approach.
