Abstract:

This report summarizes the mathematical and computational foundations of modern fire control systems. The fundamentals of target models and Kalman estimators are developed in a tutorial disucssion. A new approach to fire control computations based upon a hybrid coordinate system is proposed and its advantages are cited. The structure of fire control system simulation software is provided, and supporting algorithms are documented.
