Integrated guidance and control framework for the waypoint navigation of a miniature aircraft with highly coupled longitudinal and lateral dynamics [PDF]
A solution to the waypoint navigation problem for the fixed wing micro air vehicles (MAV) having a severe coupling between longitudinal and lateral dynamics, in the framework of integrated guidance and control (IGC) is addressed in this paper. IGC yields a single step solution to the waypoint navigation problem, unlike conventional multiple loop ...

Solar Dynamics Observatory Guidance, Navigation, and Control System Overview [PDF]
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) was designed and built at the Goddard Space Flight Center, launched from Cape Canaveral on February 11, 2010, and reached its final geosynchronous science orbit on March 16, 2010. The purpose of SDO is to observe the Sun and continuously relay data to a dedicated ground station.

Design of Impact Angle Control Guidance Law with Arbitrary Time Convergence [PDF]
Aiming at the problem of impact angle constrained guidance, an arbitrary time convergent impact angle constrained guidance (ATC-IACG) law against the stationary target is designed based on the pure proportion navigation (PPN) guidance law and the ...

Adaptive filtration of the UAV movement parameters based on the AOA-measurement sensor networks
Currently, the urgent task is to assess the small-sized maneuvering UAVs movement parameters. The location of an unknown UAV as a radio source can be determined using AoA measurements of the wireless sensor network.

Electro-dynamic analysis of 60mm mortars modified with guidance, navigation, and control components [PDF]
This paper summarizes the results from numerical analyses of 60mm mortar projectile bodies that are modified with guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) hardware. The major findings from the study include: 1) the far field radiation patterns predicted for the projectile considered in this analysis are sensitive to the overall size and shape of the ...
