Book excerpt: U.S. intelligence agencies are picking up chatter about something big coming their way. A series of calculated executions of undercover intelligence personnel in Washington, London and Pakistan convinces the Oval Office that this is the attack the world has feared. The Stony Man teams deploy to the hot spots, fighting to connect the dots in a plot to blow dirty bombs in Boston and Peshawar. And every minute counts as the warriors seek to smash a deadly alliance of terror that seems to have unlimited power and resources.

Download or read book Terminal Guidance Simulation Study Program written by NORTHROP CORP HAWTHORNE CALIF NORAIR DIV. and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the overall program is to determine the conditions under which human participation is feasible and effective in the terminal guidance of a missile. The program includes the postulation of concepts for human aid to missile guidance during the transitional and terminal phases of trajectory, development of equipment to simulate a missile mission with human operator aiding guidance system, and to determine the effectiveness of human operator performance under simulated flight conditions. The guidance concepts being used in the simulation studies limit the operator's participation to guidance decision functions implemented by positioning a display screen cursor, and by actuating switches which read out data or command functional changes in system operation. All flight control functions are applied automatically with respect to the directional and/or positional references carried on-board the missile. During flight test references can be changed at the discretion of the operator to correct observed errors. The possible solutions to the guidance problem have been limited to this class of systems. The two types of concepts which have been postulated as falling within this class of guidance systems are line-of-sight guidance, and position navigating guidance.

Download or read book Space Vehicle Dynamics and Control written by Bong Wie and published by AIAA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A textbook that incorporates the latest methods used for the analysis of spacecraft orbital, attitude, and structural dynamics and control. Spacecraft dynamics is treated as a dynamic system with emphasis on practical applications, typical examples of which are the analysis and redesign of the pointing control system of the Hubble Space Telescope and the analysis of an active vibrations control for the COFS (Control of Flexible Structures) Mast Flight System. In addition to the three subjects mentioned above, dynamic systems modeling, analysis, and control are also discussed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Terminal Guidance Simulator Study Program Vol I Basic Report written by NORTHROP AIRCRAFT INC HAWTHORNE CA. and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prpose of the simulation program is to study the feasibility of achieving high accuracy by means of human aid to a missile guidance sys tem during the transitional and terminal phases of flight. The equipment simulates and displays to human operators by means of closed circuit television and appropriate optical devices the view obtained from a nose-mounted, space-sta bilized television camera as the missile ap proaches the target area. The simulator provides the operators with a means of inserting dance commands which can be refined as the resolution increases when the missile approaches the target area. The scene viewed by the operator is pro duced by high resolution transparencies made from aerial photographs of ground terrain. (Author).
Download or read book Terminal Guidance with a Side Mounted Sensor Against a Stationary Target written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terminal guidance under the constraints that (i) the heading error must be greater than a specified angle (in order that the sensor see the target), and (ii) the magnitude of the lateral acceleration is limited, is studied. Only the kinematic features of flight are considered. It is demonstrated that a planar trajectory is as good as any for the purpose of hitting a stationary target on the ground. In order to hit, or come close to the target, the final segment of terminal flight must violate the heading-error constraint, during which time the target is invisible. If there is an additional condition (iii) that the missile must remain above the target (e.g., for imaging) during terminal descent, the optimum trajectory is a conic spiral. As in the previous case, there is a final segment of blind flight. The miss distance depends on the constraints and other parameters of the problem, as well as on the sensor measurement errors. Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the miss distance under various conditions.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basis for this study is the need to increase the accuracy of present Army missile systems in the 10- to 100-nautical mile range. The guidance scheme must operate during the entire flight or must provide boost control to velocity cutoff and terminal steering. This study should yield the desired results for the range span considered, and is primarily concerned with guidance techniques - principally the terminal phase guidance for the purpose of eliminating range variations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lunar descent scheme with n periods of engine ON-OFF is investigated. Each period may have a different thrust level but it is constant for the length of the period. The engines are ingnited by altitude and cut off by velocity signals. Five groups of errors are considered: ignition altitude, velocity change, thrust level, lunar gravitation, and initial approach velocity. Equations are derived that allow the computation of the influence of any given error occurring during any one of the n periods on the final velocity at touchdown ...
