Ebook: The computation of firing tables for guided missiles

(Бро Гарольд Дж. Вычисление таблиц стрельбы для управляемых ракет).Report. Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland: Ballistic Research Laboratories. 1966. – 51 р.The computation of firing tables for guided missiles is a problem that first arose when the U.S. Army introduced the Redstone Missile into its arsenal of weapons. The repetitive nature of such computations, their continuing requirement, and the turnover in personnel create a need for systemization of computations, applicable for different missile systems and at the same time, not requiring extensive analysis, new computer programs, and training of personnel. Recent work done by the Computing Laboratory of BRL accomplishes this objective and is a significant improvement in the state of the art. This report describes the procedure and includes a realistic example of a typical computational problem.
