Title:
The Design of a Second Generation Yawsonde
Report Date:
1974-04-01
Abstract:
Improvements have been incorporated into existing yawsonde telemeters to facilitate ground reduction of extensive quantities of data. The main area of improvement has been in the design of the amplifier so that solar pulses of constant amplitude and constant width can be transmitted to ground receiving stations. The new amplifier design makes it possible to reduce the solar pulse data on board the projectile itself providing solar aspect angle as a function of time of flight in binary coded form at the transmitter. Such on-board, real time motional data could be used in a command/control system to enhance the accuracy of artillery fire.
