Dog-Leg Unmasking in the Corrected-Intercept Mode

Abstract

A dog-leg turn may be used to unmask the target and obtain post- launch tracking data for the computation of control orders. The timing and direction of the turn, and the length of the dog leg, are examined to determine the sensitivity of the acquisition probability to these variables in the corrected-intercept mode. The length of the dog leg is computed in a way that assures that unmasking will occur and that at least one correction will be applied to the gyro course before masking recurs. Rules are determined for the computation of the length of the initial leg, the direction of the turn, and the length of the dog leg.
