Air To Air Helicopter Fire Control Equations and Software Generation.

Abstract

Fire control equations suitable for use in a helicopter air-to-air gunnery engagement are developed. Maximum use is made of existing software from the Closed Loop Fire Control System (CLFCS). New target state estimator, ballistics, and gun order modules are developed to account for target motion effects. The resulting software was coded and run in the CLFCS fire control computer, and made to interface with a modified Multiweapon Fire Control System. (Author)
