Parametric Study of Advanced Forward Area Air Defense Weapon System (AFAADS). Volume 1. Analysis. Supplement
Abstract
The purpose of the reported supplemental effort is to provide additional analyses and evaluations of potential closed loop predicted fire systems for air defense, to assess and interpret experimental data on actual aircraft flight paths in terms of predictability, to examine the potential of rocket and rocket-boost projectiles in comparison with conventional gun fired projectiles, and to consider what advantages may lie in a system using control of projectiles in flight along a predicted trajectory. Additional and timely objectives are to consider the capability of predicted fire systems against standoff munitions and ways in which predicted fire systems may be made less susceptible to enemy countermeasures.
