A STATE VECTOR DERIVATION OF A DETERMINISTIC SIMULATION MODEL OF A RADAR TRACKER ON A ROTATING EARTH,

Abstract

This report derives the deterministic math model for the flight simulation of a tracking radar (range, azimuth, and elevation) on a rotating earth. The basic motivation has been to obtain methods for mapping the geometrical vector equations to transfer-matrix equations for inclusion into the total system equations (forces, torques, guidance equations, etc) in state vector form. Matrix block diagrams are constructed to serve as a basis for studies into the design of matrix analog and digital computer programming. (Author)
