Abstract: A feed forward guidance kit for a ballistic device that includes at least one optical imaging sensor, a processor that is operatively in communication with the at least one optical imaging sensor, and a feed forward guidance protocol that is stored on a computer readable medium and that is operatively in communication with the processor. When the at least one optical imaging sensor initially intercepts an aircraft at an initial location during combat, the feed forward guidance protocol instructs the processor to proactively calculate an anticipated second position of the aircraft as an orientation of the aircraft changes from an initial orientation to a translated orientation.

Abstract: A rocket in one example includes separate chambers for storing two thrust grains: an initial thrust grain and a boost thrust grain. The initial thrust grain is stored in a first chamber and the boost thrust grain is stored in a second chamber. The initial thrust grain is ignited separately from the boost thrust grain, such as in a two-stage process where the initial thrust grain is ignited before, or at the same time as, the boost thrust grain. The initial thrust grain has a large surface area (different burn pattern) relative to the boost thrust grain, which causes the initial thrust grain to have a shorter burn time than the boost thrust grain.
