‘ADAPTIVE MISSILE
GUIDANCE USING GPS’
is a modern approach
in wireless
communication.
Radar signal,
Wires,
Lasers (or),
Most recently GPS.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a
space-based satellite navigation system that
provides location and time information in
all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth,
where there is an unobstructed line of sight
to four or more GPS
satellites.
GPS has three parts: the space
segment, the user segment, and
the control segment. The space
segment consists of a constellation
of 24 satellites plus some spares,
each in its own orbit 11,000 nautical
miles above Earth.
Differential Global Positioning
System (DGPS) is an
enhancement to Global
Positioning System (GPS), that
provides improved location
accuracy, from the 15-meter
nominal GPS accuracy to about
10 cm in case of the best
implementations.
The central idea
behind the design
of
DGPS/GPS/inertial
guided weapons is
that of using a 3-
axis
gyro/accelerometer
package as an
inertial reference
for the weapon's
autopilot.
Such weapons are
designated as
"accurate"
munitions as they
will offer CEPs
(Circular Error
Probable) of the
order of the
accuracy of
GPS P -code signals,
typically about 40ft.
An inertial navigation
system (INS) is a navigation
aid that uses a computer,
motion sensors and rotation
sensors (gyroscopes) to
continuously calculate via
dead reckoning the position,
orientation, and velocity
(direction and speed of
movement) of a moving
object without the need for
external references.
The ‘Missile guidance
using GPS’ uses this
‘Inertial Navigation
System’ as its basic
concept.
In the figure at left, the dashed
lines show the actual intersection
point, and the gray bands indicate
the area of uncertainty.
