A Study on Intelligent Missile Launching, IoT based SightandShoot Capability

Abstract

In an era where battlefield decisions are compressed into milliseconds, the fusion of InternetofThings (IoT) paradigms with kinetic weaponry promises a transformative leap in strike precision and operational tempo. This paper introduces the Intelligent Missile a nextgeneration munition endowed with an IoTbased “SightandShoot”  architecture that marries edgecomputing, sensorfusion, and adaptive networking into a single, selfcontained strike platform. The missile’s ocular suite—comprising hyperspectral cameras, LIDAR, and lowpower radar—streams compressed situational data to an onboard AI core that performs realtime target classification, threat ranking, and trajectory reoptimization. Simultaneously, a secure mesh link enables bidirectional communication with groundbased command nodes, allied UAVs, and satellite assets, allowing dynamic ruleset updates and cooperative engagement coordination. Empirical trials in a controlled range environment demonstrate a 30 percent reduction in collateral damage and a 45 percent increase in hittokill probability over legacy inertialguided systems, even under contested electromagnetic conditions. The Intelligent Missile thereby exemplifies how IoTcentric design can endow kinetic weapons with the situational awareness, agility, and resilience formerly reserved for pure informationdominance platforms.
