INSTRUMENTATION AND COMPENSATION FOR ACCURATE CUTOFF VELOCITY

Abstract

The recognition of a preselected velocity to determine the cutoff point of a missile rocket motor is discussed. Velocity can be measured either by a ground-missile radar system or a missile inertial (accelerometer) system. Error compensation methods are formulated for both velocity measuring systems and basic instrumentation requirements for the inertial system are discussed. (Author)
