Abstract: The laser guidance weapon is becoming one of the most important beating weapons and playing important roles in the modern war, with low cost, high effect-cost rate and high precision. The different types of laser guidance were introduced, and application perspectives of Missile-borne Laser Active Imaging Guidance (MBLAIG) in laser guidance was commented, its working principles, characteristics, factors affecting the detection capability, technical route and technical difficulty were introduced, scanning imaging and scannerless imaging are analyzed in detail. The recent advances and future development trends of MBLAIG were reviewed, and the typical scannerless imaging laser guidance system, low-cost autonomous attack system (LOCAAS), loitering attack missile (LAM), CLAS and Jigsaw were described in brief. A feasible solution and some valuable suggestions for development MBLAIG were presented, and the key technology for the new laser radar system was summarized also.
