NAVY AIR TO AIR MISSILE STUDY FIRE CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

Abstract

The Naval Research Laboratory is serving as technical director of the Navy's Air to Air Missile Study. This report represents a continuation of this effort. Results are presented, based on preliminary investigation, which are directed toward establishing the minimum fire control requirements for successfully launching an air to air missile. The investigation was prompted by the fact that as missile system design techniques improve, fire control accuracy requirements should be less stringent. The question arises as to why this trend has not prevailed in the design of modern airborne fire control systems. (Author)
