Aiming at the poor reliability of targets destroy for single base surface-to-air-missile weapon system, and the existing shortcomings of anti-destroying ability for missile networking system, this paper research on system level surface-to-air-missile defense system network features. On the analysis of the missile launching area boundary, the kill probability, the operational time and threat lev...

not available at this time. 2 Applying Crime Mapping and Analysis Techniques to Forecast Insurgent Attacks in Iraq Joseph Mlakar, Operations Research Analyst, United States Marine Corps, 3300 Russell Road, Quantico VA 22554, United States of America, [email protected] We begin by finding series of attacks that are linked to the same insurgent or insurgent group. Each series is analyzed spa...

This paper shows; that, in some conditions we can obtain the exact solution for a missile and an aircraft differential games which minimizes and maximizes the essential pay-off of the problem: the miss distance, without employing any linearized approximation. The idea of our method is, by starting from the aircraft one-sided optimal control solution against a PNG missile, which maximizes the mi...

Lethality evaluation tests of anti-armor missile systems require flight-test of tactical missiles against threat targets under highly controlled impact conditions. Variables such as terminal dive angle, impact velocity, missile orientation at impact, hit-point on the target, and shot-line through the target all must be carefully controlled and documented to properly evaluate and analyze the dam...

The development of modern air defense missile systems requires robust simulations to adequately place margins on hardware and software design. Coupled with this is the need to accurately model surface reflections that constitute clutter to the missile system. A thorough understanding of these reflections is becoming increasingly important as the air defense threat evolves from large, high-altit...

Powerful nonlinear approaches for missile autopilot design have recently emerged in the literature, which have the potential to deliver improved missile performance. However, the lack of computational methods has made it difficult for the practicing engineers to exploit these techniques in routine applications. Another factor that has slowed their application is that the missile models are gene...

Infrared cameras can detect the heat signatures of missile plumes in the mid-wave infrared waveband (3-5 microns) and are being developed for use – in conjunction with advanced tracking algorithms – in Missile Warning Systems (MWS). However, infrared imagery is also liable to contain appreciable levels of noise and significant levels of thermal clutter, which can make missile detection and trac...

INTRODUCTION Missile embolization is regarded as a rare phenomenon in the world of penetrating trauma. While figures in the world of civilian trauma do not exist, there is reason to believe that missile emboli are frequent enough to warrant the attention of any medical decision maker who cares for trauma patients. The current literature offers a variety of cases, but consolidated commentaries o...

n overview of hydrocode analysis at the Applied Physics Laboratory is presented. Starting with an Independent Research and Development project that simulated a high-velocity impact test of a full missile, the Laboratory developed a damage-scoring method for hydrocode simulations of missile impacts that opened the possibilities for a number of other applications. Applications of hydrocode analys...
