Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling a trajectory of a ballistic flying body, said trajectory extending from a starting point in a firing system to an impact point in a target, said trajectory having at least a first trajectory phase and a second trajectory phase between said starting point and said impact point, said apparatus comprising:a. at least one memory (1) for storing first parameters representing characteristic values of said ballistic flying body;b. at least one input unit (5) for entering second parameters representing actual firing system values,c. a processing and evaluating unit (2) having inputs connected to said memory (1) and to said input unit (5) for receiving said first and second parameters for evaluation to produce a trajectory model including a first submodel corresponding to said first trajectory phase and a second submodel corresponding to said second trajectory phase for generating control signals for controlling said trajectory of said ballistic flying body in said first and second trajectory phases, and wherein a first number of parameters evaluated in said first submodel of said first trajectory phase is larger than or equal to a second number of parameters evaluated in said second submodel of said second trajectory phase for generating said control signals.
