Predicted line of sight (PLOS) is a method of missile targeting. In PLOS, the operator tracks the target with the missile launcher's onboard sights for a short period of time (3-5 seconds). Software on the launcher extrapolates from the data gathered, producing a prediction of the route required to intercept the moving target.
The current phase of the HBTSS program is in protype stage and lacks operational capability. [1] The HBTSS program plans to launch two demonstration sensors into orbit by Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. [ 1 ] The Missile Defense Agency have selected two military contractors - L3Harris Technologies and Northrop Grumman - to design, build, and lastly ...
"Base Drag Predictions of Missile Configurations", AIAA Paper No.93-3629 presented at AIAA Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference in Monterey, CA, Aug 1993. (Also Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, Sept-Oct 1994, Vol. 31, No.5) (written with F. Wilcox of NASA/LRC and T. Hymer of NSWC).
Missile DATCOM is a widely used semi-empirical datasheet component build-up method for the prediction of missile aerodynamic coefficients. It is an example of an engineering aeroprediction method which can be used to generate an aerodynamic database of the vehicle’s aerodynamic coefficients at various flight conditions.
Lockheed Martin is still building a new missile defense system, but events may overtake it. Lockheed's $1 Billion Missile Defense Satellites Are Vulnerable to Budget Cuts -- and Russia Skip to ...
Guidance methods for ballistic missiles are used to compensate for the difficulty in pre-launch prediction, which originates from uncertainties in maneuvering. In these, machine learning techniques like neural networks can can be used to update the predicted impact point based on the current flight state in a reasonable amount of time and ...
On 18 November 2011, the first advanced hypersonic weapon (AHW) glide vehicle was successfully tested by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command as part of the Prompt Global Strike program. [citation needed] The missile was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii, and struck a target at the Reagan Test Site on ...
The Missile Defense Agency leads the development of anti-ballistic missiles for North America. The Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) [21]: 4:13 is a MDA program to upgrade the kill vehicles for the ground-based interceptors, with different vendors, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman competing.
