Extract

The design of guided missile systems presents a wide spectrum of problems to engineers in numerous disciplines which range through aerodynamics, electronics and signal processing. Of all the tasks involved in the design process, perhaps the most difficult is the integration of the various technologies into a complete, harmonised system. IMPACT is a computer program which was developed to address the system design aspects of homing guidance missile systems. The aim of this paper is to describe the engineering philosophy and theoretical background to the IMPACT program.
