Abstract In order to reduce the weight of missile launch system and cost launch, a flexible airbag ejection is studied realize work on missile. The working mechanism performance are through numerical calculation. results show that related factors such as type temperature medium. study medium, it found that: smaller molar mass medium higher temperature, better system. research can provide an imp...

of THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE IN WORLD WAR II SOME OPERATIONAL ART CONSIDERATIONS The World War II V-l and V-2 attacks by Germany were the first effective use of theater missiles, and the first instance of a requirement for theater missile defense (TMD). The Allied response to German cruise (V-l) and ballistic (V-2) missile attacks incorporated all the elements of modern TMD concepts—Active Defens...

The Missile Internal Power (MIP) project has studied the problem of developing integrated power supplies of minimum weight capable of providing regulated electrical power in an isolated environment subject to severe climatic and force conditions. An initial study of alternative energy sources and components revealed the most promising system. Basic investigations of the properties and character...

The application of fuzzy logic for the development of guidance laws for homing missiles is presented. Fuzzy logic approximation of the well known proportional navigation guidance law is discussed, followed by the development of a blended guidance law using fuzzy logic. The objective of the latter guidance law is to combine desirable features of three homing guidance laws to enhance the intercep...

For more than a decade, TRW has been involved in aerospace applications of the Global Positioning System (GPS). TRW Ballistic Missiles Division first began working with GPS on a Minuteman missile test flight program in 1980. Since then, TRW has applied GPS to programs such as the Peacekeeper missile, the F-22 fighter aircraft, the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle, Brilliant Pebbles, and classified s...

The Electronic Warfare Division, of the Avionics Laboratory at the Wright Research and Development Center (WRDC), WPAFB, has two in-house facilities which are used in the evaluation of conceptual infrared (IR) and electro-optical (EO) countermeasure techniques. The ftrst facility, called the Dynamic Infrared Missile Evaluator (DIME), is a 6-degree of freedom hardware-in-the-loop infrared (IR) m...

– A flight path rate demand modified two-loop lateral missile autopilot design methodology for a class of rear controlled guided missile, based on state feedback, output feedback, reduced order Das & Ghosal observer (DGO) and PI controller is proposed. The open loop undamped model of two-loop autopilot has been stabilized by using pole placement and state feedback. The non-minimum phase feature...

The U.S. Navy is currently developing its next-generation cruise missile, the Tactical Tomahawk, which improves upon current versions by its ability to be retargetedin flight against emergent time-critical targets. In this study, we developed an advanced operator interfaceprototype for monitoring, controlling and retargeting the Tactical Tomahawk missile and empirically tested the effect of mis...

The analysis of missile telemetry data from live or simulated firings has traditionally been a time consuming and complex task. Missile telemetry data can consist of over a thousand channels, and data files can be hundreds of megabytes. Hundreds of runs can be performed in a single day of testing, resulting in an information overload for the analyst. The Generic Telemetry Viewer (GTV) and White...
