The accuracy of aerodynamically controlled guided projectile simulations is largely
determined by the aerodynamic model employed in flight simulations which impacts vehicle …

The generation of a plasma discharge on a projectile surface seems to be a way of
producing a pressure imbalance to divert a projectile from its initial trajectory. Thus, some …

6-DOF simulations were used to investigate various control schemes for a guided
supersonic projectile. The 6-DOF simulation results were compared with actual range data …

Abstract Systems engineering introduces the notion of top-down design, which involves
viewing an entire system comprised of its components as a whole functioning unit. This …

In September of 1994 a small uninhabited aerial vehicle took to the air. While the flight of this
lightweight powered glider was unremarkable, its 3 minutes aloft represented a turning point …

The results from a series of range tests designed to demonstrate the divert of a Mach 4
projectile are presented. These tests were conducted at the Army Research Lab's Transonic …

This article presents a series active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) autopilot design
scheme with mini pin actuators for nonlinear hyper velocity projectile (HVP) system. In order …

This paper outlines a research area which is ripe for the generation of a technological
surprise for the US and its allies as well as tremendous opportunity. An historical summary …

The generation of a plasma discharge on a projectile surface is a way of producing a
pressure imbalance in order to divert a projectile from its initial trajectory. Thus, some …

A recent study showed that the complex 3-D shock/boundary layer interaction of a pin
placed next to a fin produces an asymmetric lift force that can be utilized for flight control of a …
