    摘要: Rolling airframe projectile guidance and stability systems are disclosed. Flight control surfaces, such as canards and/or tail fins are attached to a projectile airframe that is designed to roll during flight. Stepper motors are attached to the flight control surfaces and move the flight control surfaces in discrete increments. A control system generates signals that control the flight control surfaces. The control system may include a neural network that is trained to generate control signals in response to received inputs.

    摘要: A process to control the trajectory of a spinning projectile. The projectile's accelerations are measured by means of an inertial unit in three axes within a reference linked to the projectile so as to prepare the piloting commands for the projectile's trajectory. The velocity vector V components (VX, VY, VZ) of the projectile are measured using a global positioning system (GPS) along three axes and within a land reference (GX, GY, GZ). Based on these measurements, the components (ΓX,ΓY,ΓZ) of the acceleration vector Γ are evaluated in the same land reference (GX, GY, GZ). At each of these measurements and periodical evaluations by the GPS, the Euler angles of the projectile are recalculated by combining the resultants of the velocity (V) and acceleration (Γ) measurements given by the GPS and those of the acceleration given by the inertial unit.

    摘要: A munition is presented which includes an integrity verification system that measures the integrity of the munition. When an integrity threshold is not met, engagement of the munition with a predetermined target is aborted. Also presented is a methodology for gating the engagement of the munition with the target. The methodology includes performing an integrity check of the munition after it is deployed. The method further includes aborting the engagement of the target when the integrity check of the munition fails.

    摘要: A system and method of providing situational awareness and weapon targeting is presented. The method includes determining the location of one or more enemy sites and one or more friendly sites. A “Do Not Engage” (DNE) zone is determined around each of the friendly sites and an “Allowable Engagement” (AE) zone is established around each of the enemy sites, wherein none of the AE zones overlap any of the DNE zones. An engagement plan is then determined based on the AE zones and integrity bounds on candidate munitions. The system includes a processing and communications network and a sensor element in communication with the processing and communications network. The system also includes a command control element in communication with the processing and communications network and an operating elements section in communication with the processing and communications network.

    摘要: An interference-aided signal acquisition and tracking system includes a vehicle, an interference detector, a noise canceller, and a signal processor. The vehicle has at least two receivers configured to detect external signals and the at least two receivers have an output dependent on attitude of the vehicle. The interference detector measures the output of at least one of the at least two receivers. The noise canceller combines the output of the at least two receivers. The signal processor extracts a desired signal from the output of the noise canceller. The output of the interference detector is used to control the noise canceller as to reject unwanted signals and enhance performance of the signal processor in extracting the desired signal.

    摘要: A projectile guidance system without gyros in which the projectile has an orthogonal body coordinate system. The projectile has a triax of accelerometers providing x, y and z acceleration data measured along the x, y and z axes respectively. A GPS antenna and receiver means provides onboard GPS position and velocity data in earth referenced navigational coordinates. A computer and program means stores and accesses time indexed GPS position and GPS velocity data and transforms x, y and z axis acceleration data from body to navigation coordinates. The program means is responsive to corresponding time indexed acceleration data and to GPS velocity and position data for calculating and outputing an estimated projectile roll, pitch and yaw angle via optimal smoothing techniques with respect to local level for each time index iteration of present position to a flight control system for guiding the projectile to a predetermined location.

    摘要: A missile guidance system employs a strap down inertial measurement unit with a separate accelerometer and star sensor that are moved for preflight accelerometer initialization. During flight, light is directed on the accelerometer and inertial measurement unit to produce on the star sensor images of the light source, the accelerometer and the inertial measurement unit. The location of these images, which manifest the acceleration and position of the inertial measurement unit relative to the vehicle, are used to improve the accuracy of the inertial measurement unit data for vehicle guidance.
