Missile Guidance and Control Systems

Systems Engineering of Air and Missile Defenses

n the Air Defense Systems Department, systems engineering is a way of thinking. More than a “process,” the systems perspective drives our approach to solving emerging air and missile defense problems as the threat becomes more advanced and the tactical environment more complex. This perspective and the requisite tools have evolved with the increasing complexity of those systems. In this article...

Guidance Law Evaluation for Missile Guidance Systems

In missile guidance system, to reduce the interception “miss distance,” it is important to choose a suitable guidance law and navigation constant. This paper investigates and compares the system behavior of guidance laws under different navigation constants. Based on use of the adjoint technique, miss distance sensitivity analyses which consider the system noise, target step maneuver, initial h...

Overview of Missile Flight Control Systems

the guidance system. The types of steering commands vary depending on the phase of flight and the type of interceptor. For example, in the boost phase the flight control system may be designed to force the missile to track a desired flight-path angle or attitude. In the midcourse and terminal phases the system may be designed to track acceleration commands to effect an intercept of the target. ...
