A Model for Sensor-Interceptor Trade-Off Analysis

Abstract

In this report, we present an analytical model useful for sensor and interceptor trade-off analysis. Major factors used in this model include sensor measurement accuracy, data rate, interceptor time delay in responding to a command, and interceptor control error in executing a command. Guidance options considered include command guidance and homing guidance whereby the homing sensor accuracy may either be a constant or vary with powers of target range.
