LOW LEVEL WIND MEASUREMENTS FOR BALLISTIC APPLICATION

Abstract

Application of the low level wind turbulence spectrum to the ballistic missile problem with the aid of Taylor's hypothesis is discussed. Results of cross-spectral analysis are discussed with reference to predicting the wind at the launcher from a sensor at some point in space away from the launcher. Examples of spectral and cross-spectral estimates are presented.
