PDF-(BOOS)-Tactical Missile Warheads (Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics)

By marrying warhead fundamentals with more modern design approaches this book will assist new members of the warhead community to learn more rapidly as well as provide a reference text for those working actively in the field The books chapters are each selfcontained articles however the topics are linked and may be divided into three groups The first group provides a broad introduction as well as four fundamental technology areas namely explosives dynamic characterization of materials explosivemetal interaction physics and hydrocodes The second group presents the mechanics of three major types of warheads shaped charges explosively formed projectiles and fragmentation warheads The interaction with various types of targets is also presented The third group addresses test methodology Flash radiography and highspeed photography are covered extensively especially from an applications point of view Special methods are also presented including the use of tomographic reconstruction of flash radiographs and the use of laser interferometry.

Cruise missiles have an 8.5-foot (2.61-meter) wingspan, are powered by turbofan engines and can fly 500 to 1,000 miles (805 to 1,610 km) depending on the configuration. A cruise missile's job in life is to deliver a 1,000-pound (450-kg) high-explosive bomb to a precise location -- the target. NF-2015-04-591-HQ Headquarters 300 E. Street, SW Washington, DC 20546 NASA Facts Exploring new concepts with the potential to mature into commercially relevant capabilities; and Supporting education Frontiers of Propulsion Science is the first-ever compilation of emerging science relevant to such notions as space drives, warp drives, gravity control, and faster-than-light travel - the kind of breakthroughs that would revolutionize spaceflight and enable human voyages to other star systems. Although these concepts might sound like science fiction, they are appearing in growing numbers in reputable scientific journals. This is a nascent field where a variety of concepts and issues are being explored in the scientific literature, beginning in about the early 1990s. The collective status is still in step 1 and 2 of the scientific method, with initial observations being made and initial hypotheses being formulated, but a small number of approaches are already at step 4, with experiments underway. This emerging science, combined with the realization that rockets are fundamentally inadequate for interstellar exploration, led NASA to support the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project from 1996 through 2002. Frontiers of Propulsion Science covers that project as well as other related work, so as to provide managers, scientists, engineers, and graduate students with enough starting material that they can comprehend the status of this research and decide if and how to pursue it in more depth themselves. Five major sections are included in the book: Understanding the Problem lays the groundwork for the technical details to follow Propulsion Without Rockets discusses space drives and gravity control, both in general terms and with specific examples Faster-Than-Light Travel starts with a review of the known relativistic limits, followed by the faster-than-light implications from both general relativity and quantum physics Energy Considerations deals with spacecraft power systems and summarizes the limits of technology based on accrued science and, From This Point Forward offers suggestions for how to manage and conduct research on such visionary topics. The primary focus of Fundamentals of High Accuracy Inertial Navigation is on the physical and mathematical principles forming the basis for inertial navigation. The material in the book is directly applicable to the inertial navigation of all types of vehicles whether on land, in or on the ocean, in the atmosphere, or in space in the vicinity of the Earth. This text is a practical guide to building Kalman filters and shows how the filtering equations can be applied to real-life problems. Numerous examples are presented in detail, showing the many ways in which Kalman filters can be designed. Computer code written in FORTRAN, MATLAB[registered], and True BASIC accompanies all of the examples so that the interested reader can verify concepts and explore issues beyond the scope of the text. Sometimes mistakes are introduced intentionally to the initial filter designs to show the reader what happens when the filter is not working properly. The text spends a great deal of time setting up a problem before the Kalman filter is actually formulated to give the reader an intuitive feel for the problem being addressed. Real problems are seldom presented in the form of differential equations and they usually do not have unique solutions. Therefore, the authors illustrate several different filtering approaches for tackling a problem. Readers will gain experience in software and performance tradeoffs for determining the best filtering approach for the application at hand. The second edition has two new chapters and an additional appendix. memory filter is introduced and it is shown that for some radar tracking applications the fading memory filter can yield similar performance to a Kalman filter at far less computational cost. A second new chapter presents techniques for improving Kalman filter performance. Included is a practical method for preprocessing measurement data when there are too many measurements for the filter to utilize in a given amount of time. The chapter also contains practical methods for making the Kalman filter adaptive. A new appendix has been added which serves as a central location and summary for the text\'s most important concepts and formulas. MATLAB is a registered trademark of The MathWorks, Inc.
