Several capabilities for intercepting a ballistic missile or its payload just after launch, or as it flies through its midcourse phase in space, or as it reenters Earth's atmosphere on a terminal trajectory will enhance overall system effectiveness by providing a defense in depth. Missile defense...
Command, proposes to use vanous configurations of a seedant (deuterium fluoride), high explosive, and sensor instrumentation payload package on several target missile launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) to independently verify Ground-based Midcourse Defense Element interceptor effectiveness. The...
"MSX is truly a testament to APL's innovation and effectiveness in meeting the nation's challenges. I'd say the government got an 'APL bargain' operating the satellite for 12 years on a four-year program. That's impressive by anyone's standards." Although operations have ceased, MSX could...
4.3. Simulation Scenario 3: Verify the Effectiveness of Online Correction of Interceptor When Setting the Switch Threshold in Stages Set a fixed threshold 𝜀=50 m/sε=50 m/s, to achieve the interceptor as far as possible not to start before stage the switching point, set the first phased...
Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law; the obtained miss distance accuracy has an order of magnitude of 1 m, and the impact angle accuracy has a 1° order of magnitude while the angle can be achieved. Keywords: impact angle and time control; iterative ...
