Compared with single-element ladar, linear array laser could provide more shape information of the targets. In order to make better use of linear array laser radar, a recognition and position method for linear array laser radar of terminal sensitive projectile was proposed in this paper. And the Monte-Carlo method was utilized for the simulation of performance. The simulation results indicated that compared with single-element ladar, the hitting points of terminal sensitive projectile using linear array laser radar were closer to the central area of the target. Meanwhile, the stability of scanning platform had great influence on the recognition rate of linear array laser radar. The results of this paper provided basis and valuable references for the application of linear array laser radar in terminal sensitive projectile.
