Download or read book Improvement of Miss Distance of Missiles with Imaging Seekers by Utilizing Dynamic Image Processing written by Rui Manuel Alves Francisco and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This theses deals with improving the miss distance of a missile, with imaging seeker(s), by utilizing dynamic image processing. In an encounter with a missile, a target tries to avoid the missile by performing a evasive maneuver when the missile is at a relative distance which maximizes the miss distance. Dynamic image processing permits us to identify the evasive maneuver of the target by estimating its acceleration in magnitude and direction. This thesis studies methods of utilizing this additional information about the target's behavior in order to improve the missile's performance. First the proportional navigation guidance law is explored in order to verify its advantages and weaknesses. Then, methods of obtaining the time dependent 3-D movement of a target from its image plane feature point correspondences are derived. The 3-D components of the target's acceleration are obtained by using a Kalman filter. Missiles with two cameras, one camera and one seeker (radar or IR), and only one camera are considered. Methods to get stereo vision by using the one camera plus one seeker setup and the single camera setup are proposed. Advanced guidance laws, namely advanced proportional navigation and optimal guidance, are derived for a 3-D environment. A three dimensional simulation program is developed using classical proportional navigation, advanced proportional navigation, and optimal guidance. The engagement is simulated using state variable design and the performance of the guidance laws is compared ...

Download or read book Modern Missile Guidance written by Rafael Yanushevsky and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missile Guidance, Second Edition provides a timely survey of missile control and guidance theory, based on extensive work the author has done using the Lyapunov approach. This new edition also presents the Lyapunov-Bellman approach for choosing optimal parameters of the guidance laws, and direct and inverse optimal problems are considered. This material is important for readers working in the areas of optimization and optimal theory. This edition also contains updated coverage of guidance and control system components, since the efficiency of guidance laws depends on their realization. The text concludes with information on the new generation of intercept systems now in development.

Download or read book Chinese Anti Ship Ballistic Missile ASBM Development written by Andrew S. Erickson and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), the DF-21D, has reached the equivalent of Initial Operational Capability. Although it probably has been deployed in small numbers, additional challenges and tests remain. This study examines the ASBM’s capability and history, showing how the DF-21D meets multiple priorities in Chinese defense modernization and in the national security bureaucracy, as well its implications for the United States. The ASBM’s physical threat to U.S. Navy ships will be determined by the development of associated systems and organizations, which currently limit data fusion and coordination in the complex task of identifying a U.S. aircraft carrier in the open ocean. Still, the ASBM poses a direct threat to the foundations of U.S. power project in Asia and will undermine the U.S. position, unless efforts to counter its political-military effects are taken.

Download or read book Missile Flight Simulation written by Jeffrey Strickland and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A missile flight simulation is a computational tool that calculates the flight of a missile from launch until it engages the target. The simulation is based on mathematical models of the missile, target and environment. This book provides instruction for the preparation of these mathematical models to simulate the flight of a surface-to-air missile. The 2nd Edition of Missile Flight Simulation provides updated simulation processes using MATLAB(R) and Simulink(TM), while improving and clarifying previous content. The book may be used as a reference or as a textbook, although it is devoid of exercises. However, the reader is encouraged to perform the simulation of Charter 12 using MATLAB(R) and Simulink(TM), or a programming language such as FORTRAN (see Chapter 10). The book is not intended to be a missile flight engineering reference and does not contain every aspect of missile flight. It provides the appropriate content for simulating missile flight from launch to terminus only.
