A METHOD OF MEASURING SCALAR MISS DISTANCE USING A C.W. OSCILLATOR IN THE MISSILE

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0325843 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A method is described of measuring the scalar miss distance of a missile from a target by recording a beat frequency which appears on the signal from a CW oscillator which is already carried in the missile for tracking purposes. The method is intended for use in trials of missiles against parachute targets, but it has been shown to work in the case of aircraft targets also.
