Description of a Computer Program (ZOT.14) for Guidance Simulation of Cannon-Launched Guided Projectiles

Abstract

The methodology of the ZOT.14 Guidance Simulation Model is discussed. The model is a five-degree-of-freedom (5DOF) digital simulation program in FORTRAN IV which is designed for studies of guidance accuracy and performance envelopes of various cannon-launched guided projectiles (CLGPs) under a wide variety of situations. It is designed to facilitate large-sample-size Monte- Carlo experiments at significantly less cost in time and money than is possible when using existing 6DOF models.
