The origin of the missile goes back to the Roman war machine of the catapult. The remote-controlled missile was born when Werner Von Siemens suggested a torpedo guide for submarines at the end of the 19th century. From these beginnings, the current trident and tomahawk are guided from the sky using GPS signals. This seminar deals with the concept of measurement that tests the accuracy of the missile. SATRACK receives, retransmits, records and tracks satellite signals sent by GPS signals. The reception and retransmission of signals is done by means of a missile hardware called the GPS translator. Ground telemetry stations consist of the RF antenna and recorders for the data. Post-flight processing and modeling are performed later in the SATRACK Facility. Also major contributing errors to missile flight are determined by the modeling done. There is widespread use of simulated signals in this method. This seminar also sheds light on the major revolutionary technologies that were developed during the research that led to the final form of this technology. The main advantages, disadvantages and future applications of this method are also discussed. This concept of guidance system evaluation is the best in current testing and evaluation technology for guided weapon systems.
The guided missile came into existence when Werner von Siemens suggested a concept to guide submarines in the late nineteenth century. Satrack is basically an acronym for the satellite tracking system that uses a GPS system, ie Global Positioning System to send signals to the missile launched into space. Satrack has complied with all requirements of the guidance subsystem and has provided a model of weapon system error that is possible only because of its ability to detect and allocate contributors to major errors that are responsible for missing the predetermined missile path guided. During the missile flight, the signals sent by the GPS are received on the missile, then translated to the s-band frequencies and retransmitted to the ground station. In this way satrack is able to track the missile to keep it in the proper path. This concept of guidance system evaluation is the best in current testing and evaluation technology for guided weapon systems.
