Description: The technique of proportional navigation is applied to a three dimensional missile-target engagement model. A Luenberger observer is developed to reduce the effects of noise or jamming to the missile's seeker head. A ground observer which computes the deviations in target position and velocity and uplinks the deviations to the missile is also evaluated using the Kalman Filter theory to determine the benefits of the additional information provided to the missile.
