Petscope : a standardized system for ballistic missile guidance data analysis
… had the goals of standardizing and automating guidance data analysis at The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. (Draper). This was accomplished via, the first ever machine understandable knowledge of Portable Engineering Testing Stations (PETS) variables located in a comprehensive MySQL …

Optimal and near-optimal medium range air-to-air missile guidance against maneuvering targets
… a boost-sustain-coast medium-range air-to-air missile are synthesized using optimal control theory. Optimality in time/range/energy at intercept of a target is the main objective. Attainable sets and their boundaries are obtained and used to generate optimal intercept points in a …

Integration of potential field theory and proportional navigation theory to autonomously guide an unmanned aerial vehicle.
… and proportional navigation, a popular missile guidance algorithm. The new algorithm modifies the old algorithms to allow a UAV to track an optimal path to, and rendezvous with, a moving target while avoiding obstacles in its path. A model for a quad rotor style UAV is developed and …

Conformal Microstrip GPS Antenna for Missile Application
<p> Optimal missile guidance and flight performance require accurate and continuously updated in-flight coordinate data. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used for this positional awareness. However, due to missile rotation and orientation variations during flight, GPS signal reception using …

General Vector Explicit - Impact Time and Angle Control Guidance
… thesis proposes and evaluates a new cooperative guidance law called General Vector Explicit - Impact Time and Angle Control Guidance (GENEX-ITACG). The motivation for GENEX-ITACG came from an explicit trajectory shaping guidance law called General Vector Explicit Guidance (GENEX). GENEX …
