reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA091587 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report documents AMSAAs Probability of Acquisition and Maneuver PAM model. The model is used to develop performance estimates for COPPERHEAD and related weapon systems. A mathematical for modeling the acquisition and maneuver portions of a COPPERHEAD trajectory is presented. In addition, the report contains a FORTRAN implementation of the model, a description of the required inputs, and a sample case with input and output.
