A review on the development of new-type missiles for attacking maritime surface targets

New-type missiles designed for attacking maritime surface targets are key strike forces in modern naval warfare， which impacts on the balance of maritime power through the evolution of their flight speed， guidance methods and penetration capabilities has exerted a profound influence on the balance of maritime power. A systematic review on the technological progression of such missiles development from subsonic and supersonic systems to emerging hypersonic grade， and key technologies are examined from multiple perspectives， including propulsion systems， blackout-mitigation techniques and advanced flight control methods. Furthermore， the development trends of multi-source information fusion， intelligent mission assessment and cooperative strike operations are focused， which are expected to shape the future trajectory of maritime surface-attack missile systems.
