Abstract

Models for selected guidance laws were designed and built using The Mathworks’ SIMULINK. These guidance law blocks were used in an exterior ballistics model to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing body fixed seekers for shipboard gun-launched guided munitions based on the kinematic capability of candidate munitions to intercept and destroy highly maneuvering surface targets at close ranges and from different directions.
