6. Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC)
DSMAC technology gave missile guidance systems visual recognition ability. To find location and perform course corrections, this sophisticated technology matches pre-stored reference photos with real-time optical or infrared pictures. Especially in urban settings where conventional navigation techniques may be hindered by buildings and other objects, the approach allows hitherto unheard-of accuracy in terminal guidance phases. Modern implementations improve accuracy and target discrimination by means of AI-powered image recognition algorithms.
