    Abstract: Upon loss of a valid track of a remotely-sensed command guided vehicle, a delta actuator command including an orthogonal component orthogonal to the straight-line path is generated as a next sample of a time-based alternating signal. The time-based delta actuator command is added to the nominal actuator command, which is “held” upon loss of valid track, to maneuver the vehicle in first and second orthogonal directions back and forth across the straight-line path to increase an area of vehicle motion relative to the tracker's FOV. This increases the likelihood of recapture of the vehicle given vehicle motion after track is broken. The penalty is a reduction in energy efficiency. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished without modification to guidance system hardware or the existing tracking valid or invalid guidance algorithms.

    Abstract: A resolver to digital converter is provided and includes first and second inputs to receive signals from a resolver and an output to provide an estimated angle of a rotor. The sine component signal is multiplied by the cosine of the estimated angle and the cosine component signal is multiplied by the sine of the estimated angle, and a difference between them is calculated to provide an error measurement. The estimated angle is updated by the error measurement.
