The Evaluation Of Radar Guided Missile Performance Using Various Target Glint Models, Franklin Delano Hockett
The Evaluation Of Radar Guided Missile Performance Using Various Target Glint Models, Franklin Delano Hockett
Masters Theses
"A radar guided missile seeker approaching a target arrives at a crossover point beyond which the entire target is illuminated by the missile seeker's radar antenna beam. When this occurs, for a complex target, the radar senses a time changing target center location which may greatly complicate the terminal tracking portion of the seeker's flight. This thesis documents various glint models in use today and compares the performance of these models by using a seeker model to determine the effect of glint on terminal tracking performance. A large volume of data has been compiled describing various radar characteristics of complex …
