In the external guidance problem, the chief contributors to the miss distance are shown in figure (2-6) as mentioned in reference [35]: Fig. (2-6). The main reasons of miss distance The first reason is the heading error which is defined as the angle represents the deviation of the missile’s velocity vector from the collision course. When the initial value of the heading error is different from zero, the missile tries to compensate the difference and this attempt causes a delay for sitting on the

Introduction - In the decades since I first climbed on top of a motorcycle, I have seen a lot of changes. Riding partners have come and gone, laws have evolved, and the public’s perception of bikers has, thankfully, improved. The biking community is in a state of perpetual change, just like the world around it, but one thing remains constant: leather jackets.

Angels on the Battlefield In the Battle of Gettysburg that took place on July 1, 1863, and ended on July 3, many casualties and injuries resulted from the fighting between those few days, leading to the victory of the Union Army.

The United States has had over two hundred school shootings since 2013, which averages to about one shooting a week. Imagine, the families that had to bury their child or children over a bullet? There are horrible

Union threat, bringing one of the original versions of the Nike Hercules missile. (Carter, n.d.) The Nike Hercules missile is a Surface to Air missile (SAM) which is capable of destroying ballistic missiles and airplanes. Even though the Nike Hercules was capable of destroying a vast majority of ballistic missiles, its specifications did not match up to the Soviet Union threat with a distance of only 320 kilometers of travel. The United States was left with only one option to counteract the new

Recently, many Eastern Asian countries have been faced with the facts that the D.P.R.K or in other words North Korea, can and may launch a ballistic missile at their homeland. North Korea has been in the missile making business for about five and a half decades, and working frantically to develop an ICBM or intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach the mainland of the United States. The D.P.R.K’s main goal is to continue testing and finally launch a missile at the United States. This can

system that would be able to counter a theater ballistic missile attack. THAAD is designed to cover the upper tier of the Army’s two-tiered theater ballistic missile defense plan (DOD Inspector General, 1995) and is a mobile ground based theater missile defense (TMD) system that can protect military forces that are deployed at home or abroad, population centers, and civilian assets from Theater Ballistic Missile (TBM) attacks. THAAD engages incoming ballistic missiles and is capable of intercepting them
