BASIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF A HOMING AUTOPILOT, ROLL SYSTEM AND GUIDANCE COMPUTER

Abstract

The basic equations required to acquire an understanding of the autopilot, roll system and guidance computer for a homing missile are derived. How the use of these equations lead to methods for analysis and design of the systems is shown. The factors that affect the design are enumerated and the most important ones, explained in detail.
