Conical Lens for 5-Inch/54 Gun Launched Missile

Abstract

A resulting conical lens for a gun-launched missile (GLM) will focus parallel incident light through the lens to a design focal point. A conical lens was designed using an algorithm written for the HP-9845T desktop minicomputer. The examples illustrates the automated design procedure, selection of possible lenses and final lens design. Recommendations for further research are discussed.
