TRAJECTORY DETERMINATION WITH LIMITED DATA FROM A SINGLE OBSERVING SITE.
Abstract
In certain field operations, it becomes essential to rapidly compute approximate trajectory data with limited input information. Computing methods are outlined for the determination of missile trajectories assuming parabolic motion in a plane. Condition equations are derived from four observations of the trajectory while the missile is in free flight above the effective atmosphere. (Author)
