Description
Summary:A Montecarlo simulation is conducted to ascertain performance of the ATIGS system in a proposed air-launched cruise missile configuration. The simulation is conducted within a local-level inertial frame consisting of down-range, cross-range and up as primary reference vectors. Efforts are made to measure the relative effects associated with the intended pure position reset provided by a MICRAD sensor as compared with those effects which could be expected from a linear suboptimal Kalman filtering scheme used in conjuction with the MICRAD sensor
