This paper systematically sorts out the development status of aviation navigation guidance and control technology at home and abroad, and analyzes the existing gaps and reasons through comparisons in terms of demand traction, principal mechanism, product realization and application services. Under the background of systematic coordinated operation supported by aviation aircraft, the requirements for networking, systematization and intelligence are taken as the technical development goals, and the future development priorities and program routes of navigation guidance and control technology are proposed in five aspects: supporting new quality combat concepts, high-precision autonomous navigation, multibody cooperative aircraft control, research and development of new generation core devices, and unified architecture of next generation aircraft control management. Action suggestions are finally put forward at the two levels of technology and management to guide the effective combination of China’s advantageous innovation resources. Facing the needs of future equipment development, this study can provide an important reference for promoting national defense science and technology towards high-quality development.
