An Approach to Fire Control System Computations and Stimulations

Abstract

This report summarizes the mathematical and computational foundations of modern fire control systems. The fundamentals of target models and Kalman estimators are developed in a tutorial disucssion. A new approach to fire control computations based upon a hybrid coordinate system is proposed and its advantages are cited. The structure of fire control system simulation software is provided, and supporting algorithms are documented.
