“灵巧制导武器”一词,最早出现于七十年代初,当时由美国空军用它将“灵巧”激光器、电视制导炸弹与“无控”炸弹相区分。从那时起,该词就被更广泛的使用,几乎应用到所有具有某种程度的自主式制导或“智能化”的武器。实际上,“灵巧”或“敏捷”已经被用来描述武器能以最少的外部支援截获和跟踪目标。这类武器近十多年来已逐渐变得重要,防御预标中相当大的部份(特别是在美国)专用于它们的研制。 The term “smart guided weapon” first appeared in the early 1970s when it was used by the U.S. Air Force to distinguish “smart” lasers and television-guided bombs from “uncontrolled” bombs. Since then, the term has been used more broadly and applied to almost all weapons with some degree of autonomous guidance or “intelligence”. In fact, “smart” or “agile” has been used to describe the ability of a weapon to intercept and track a target with minimal external support. These types of weapons have gradually become more important over the past decade or so and a significant part of the defense prebuilt, especially in the United States, has been devoted to their development.
