A Computer Program for the Interception of a Re-Entry Body by a Ground-Launched Interceptor.
Abstract
A computer program is described which calculates the trajectory of a ground-launched vehicle intercepting a maneuvering re-entry body. The motion is planar and proportional navigation is used. Allowance is made for the finite length of time it takes the data acquisition system to process the tracking data, and for the time lag between the demand for a new course and the response to that demand. The Fortran listing of the program and a sample calculation are given. (Author)
