Abstract: The system of laser active imaging guidance hardware-in-the-loop simulation is a significant system for testing and validating the capability of laser active imaging guidance and control, it also means a lot in practical applications. The composition of guidance and control system for the laser active imaging aerocraft is analyzed, and the purpose and test flow for the hardware-in-the-loop simulation system are introduced. The integrated project for laser active imaging guidance hardware-in-the-loop simulation system is designed. The functions and elements for the crucial simulation equipment of laser active imaging echo simulator are analyzed; the elements of model composition and software for simulation system are expatiated; and the system difficulties and the pivotal technologies which need to break are presented. This work provides support for thorough research on the laser active imaging guidance technology and on the development of the precise laser active imaging echo simulator.

Key words: laser active imaging, precise guidance, Hardware-in-the-loop simulation, laser active imaging echo simulator
