Download or read book Air Warfare in the Missile Age written by Lon O. Nordeen and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lon O. Nordeen has completely updated his 1985 chronicle of military aviation’s evolving role in warfare, now covering the major conflicts of the past four decades. He presents the historical and political background of each conflict and includes in-depth discussions of the aircraft, weapons, tactics, training, new systems, and other factors that influenced the outcome of each war. New and existing chapters have been enhanced with information based on recently declassified material—especially regarding Vietnam—and new sources in Egypt, Israel, and the former Soviet Union. As “smart” bombs have become more successful in reducing the risks for pilots and frontline troops, air-missile warfare has become the central player in military conflicts. Air Warfare in the Missile Age, Second Edition, is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of modern air warfare.

Download or read book The Air Force and the National Guided Missile Program written by Max Rosenberg and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This AFCHO monograph covers USAF participation in the national guided missile program that slowly evolved between the closing months of World War II and the beginning of the Korean War. The first generation of missile projects laid the groundwork for a later and much more successful range of weapons. Navaho and Rascal proved the technologies that were later used for the AGM-28 Hound Dog and AGM-69 SRAM missiles. These same technologies later gave birth to the current generation of cruise missiles. These can be seen as a successful implementation of the design concepts first developed in the late 1940s. Today, in the second decade of the 21st century, pilotless aircraft are a widely used and deadly part of the American airborne arsenal. Technology has caught up with the visions of those who had conceived the first generation of guided missiles in the 1940s.

Download or read book Future Air Force Needs for Survivability written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key technical issue for future Air Force systems is to improve their ability to survive. Increased use of stealth technology is proposed by many to be the major element in efforts to enhance survivability for future systems. Others, however, suggest that the high cost and maintenance required of stealth technology make increased speed potentially more productive. To help address this issue, the Air Force asked the NRC to investigate combinations of speed and stealth that would provide U.S. aircraft with a high survival capability in the 2018 period, and to identify changes in R&D plans to enable such aircraft. This report presents a review of stealth technology development; a discussion of possible future missions and threats; an analysis of the technical feasibility for achieving various levels of stealth and different speeds by 2018 and of relevant near-term R&D needs and priorities; and observations about the utility of speed and stealth trade-offs against evolving threats.

Download or read book A Method of Increasing the Kinematic Boundary of Air to Air Missiles Using an Optimal Control Approach written by Robert D. Broadston and published by . This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current missile guidance laws are generally based on one of several forms of proportional navigation (PN). While PN laws are robust, analytically tractable, and computationally simple, they are only optimal in a narrow operating regime. Consequently, they may not optimize engagement range, time to intercept, or endgame kinetic energy. The advent of miniaturized high speed computers has made it possible to compute optimal trajectories for missiles using command mid-course guidance as well as autonomous onboard guidance. This thesis employs a simplified six degree of freedom (6DOF) flight model and a full aerodynamic 6DOF flight model to analyze the performance of both PN and optimal guidance laws in a realistic simulation environment which accounts for the effects of drag and control system time constants on the missile's performance. Analysis of the missile's kinematic boundary is used as the basis of comparison. A missile's kinematic boundary can be described as the maximum theoretical range at which it can intercept a target assuming no noise in its sensors. This analysis is immediately recognizable to the warfighter as an engagement envelope. The guidance laws are tested against non-maneuvering and maneuvering aircraft targets and against a simulation of a cruise missile threat. An application of the 6DOF model for a theater ballistic missile interceptor is presented.
