✦ Synopsis

A projectile is analyzed which uses a bang-bang type guidance law with a wind stabilized seeker. The projectile is guided to a target located on the ground. The projectile motion is modelled in the vertical plane, and the model is used to compare the performance of the wind stabilized seeker system with that of proportional navigation. The effects of wind speed and target motion on guidance accuracy are analyzed. Finally the results are compared to results obtained from a full 6 degrees of freedom simulation of the system.
