A Methodology for Determining the Flight Path of a Six Degree of Freedom Aircraft and Its Orientation with Respect to a Ground Site,

Abstract

This report presents a unique methodology for determining maneuvers of a six degree of freedom target whose flight path has been prescribed by a set of straight line segments. The attitude of this target at any point in time with respect to a ground site is also determined. The methodology can be applied to the modeling of any system whose performance is related to the orientation of the target with respect to a ground site.
