THAD T-7 Missile Monte-Carlo Terminal Homing Simulation Utilizing ALS, Digital/Linear and TV Seekers.
Abstract
The all-digital, Monte Carlo six degree of freedom simulation program documented in this report provides a realistic method for the evaluation and analysis of a terminal homing weapons system. Included is a functional overview of the program, a detailed description of the individual modules and subroutines, a brief description (where appropriate) of the components modeled, and a guide to the use of the program. The missile modeled in the program is the 7-in. HORNET airframe utilized as the basic flight test bed by the US Army Missile Command's Terminal Homing Accuracy Demonstration group. Two gimballed seekers are modeled which null on the line-of-sight vector to provide an initial signal for proportional navigation guidance.
