Modeling has been created for a " Space-to-Surface " system defined for an optimal trajectory for targeting in terminal phase with avoids an intercepting process. The modeling includes models for simulation atmosphere, speed of sound, aerodynamic flight and navigation by an infrared system. The modeling and simulation includes statistical analysis of the modeling results. Aerospace CyberResearc...

In this paper we consider multitarget tracking with multiple sensors for BMD. In a previous paper multitarget tracking with a single sensor was considered [8]. A ballistic missile may be in several pieces, presenting multiple targets. Besides the ground based or ship sensor there is also the missile seeker. We consider algorithms for generating and maintaining the tracks needed for BMD. A cue o...
