Earliest Intercept Geometry Guidance to Improve Mid-Course Guidance in Area Air-Defence

Midcourse Trajectory Shaping for Air and Ballistic Defence Guidance Using Bezier Curves

A near-optimal midcourse trajectory shaping guidance algorithm is proposed for both air and ballistic target engagement mission attributes for generic long range interceptor missile. This guidance methodology is based on the maximum final velocity as the objective function and maximum permissible flight altitude as the in-flight state constraint as well as the head-on orientation as the termina...

Cooperative Allocation and Guidance for Air Defence Application

This project proposes a centralized algorithm to design cooperative allocation strategies and guidance laws for air defense applications. Scenarios in naval and ground context have been defined for performance analysis by comparison to a benchmark target allocation policy. The cooperative target allocation algorithm is based on the following features: No Escape Zones (differential game NEZ) com...

A Modified Midcourse Guidance Law Based on Genelarized Collision Course

Air-to-ground Integrated Fuzzy Guidance System

In this paper we consider the problem of air to ground missile guidance system using fuzzy controller. The missile model is assumed as three degree of freedom (3DOF) (assuming the analysis in the vertical plane only).The homing guidance method is used. This paper presents numerical results for applying the fuzzy controller to the missile in different situations of control parameters in differen...

Can coffee improve image guidance?

Anecdotally, surgeons sometimes observe large errors when using image guidance in endonasal surgery. We hypothesize that one contributing factor is the possibility that operating room personnel might accidentally bump the optically tracked rigid body attached to the patient after registration has been performed. In this paper we explore the registration error at the skull base that can be induc...
