Current and future defensive missile systems have to counter threats that operate at great speeds at high altitudes and that employ increasingly more sophisticated self-screening countermeasures. To counter such a threat, it is essential that the United States exploit both current and future missile systems to their maximum potential by developing optimum midcourse and terminal guidance laws that will minimize terminal miss distance and require a minimum amount of energy. The optimum navigation study presented will develop the optimum navigation laws for RVs equipped with terminal homing capability and will demonstrate the performance os such an RV in terms of actual miss distance. Keywords: Navigation; Optimum; Modern control; Kalman Filtering; miss distance; Midcorse guidance; Guidance terminal; Guidance laws. (JHD)
