Collision-Geometry-Based Pulsed Guidance Law for Exoatmospheric Interception

摘要

IN THE absence of aerodynamic control forces, divert thrustersrnare used to generate lateral acceleration required by interceptors inrnexoatmospheric engagements. The thrusters can be fired as pulses ofrnconstant lateral acceleration magnitude. The pulse width or durationrnis determined by the guidance law used.
