Abstract: Aerodynamic configurations in general use and aerodynamic characteristics of guided weapons, e.g. of antitank missiles, guided bombs, terminally guided projectiles, guided rockets etc., are summarized. Some new aerodynamic configurations of guided weapons and correspond-ing characteristics are analyzed. It is shown that the trends of development in guided weapons are toward long range, high maneuverability, high accuracy, high power and high stealthy. The key aerodynamic techniques to be predetermined during the development of guided weapons are pointed out and discussed.
