摘要：AbstractThis article presents a historical review of the most well-known academic or industrial developments in the field of smart munition since the last forty years, focusing mostly on large caliber artillery systems. The accent is put both on the physical means of modifying or controlling the system trajectory as well as on the underlying Guidance & Control (G & C) algorithms. The focus is then turned to some of the key past, current and future developments at the French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (ISL) in this field. It is highlighted that a synergy between flight dynamics considerations and advanced flight control algorithms is mandatory to overcome practical performance difficulties such as flight stability, on-target precision or range augmentation.
