Panol Six Degrees-of-Freedom System Analysis and Usage.

Abstract

A description is given of the development and execution of a system of computer programs which describe the motion of a projectile in six degrees of freedom. Several versions of PANOL exist which can simulate the flight of a projectile: with body-fixed aerodynamic asymmetry, with mass asymmetry, with a yawsonde on board, or with guidance and steering jets.
