This work centers on the real-time trajectory planning for the cooperative control of two aerial munitions in a planar setting. One munition strikes the stationary ground target and the other will serve as an observer. ...

Spacecraft Relative Motion Applications to Pursuit-Evasion Games and Control Using Angles-Only Navigation 

Jagat, Ashish (2015-05-29)
In the first part, applied linear quadratic (LQ) differential game theory to derive linear control laws for orbit pursuit-evasion (PE) problem and extended LQ game theory to nonlinear PE game using the state-dependent ...

Study of the Ballistic Capabilities of a Tethered Satellite System 

Grant, Jennifer (2012-05-04)
This thesis is an investigation into the ballistic capabilities of a Tethered Satellite System (TSS) when the sub-satellite is released from the system. This topic is of particular interest because TSS could be potentially ...

Ues of Vision Sensors and Lane Maps to Aid GPS-INS Navigation 

Allen, John, Jr. (2011-08-25)
This thesis proposes a method to increase observability of a GPS/INS system operating under limited satellite coverage. Measurements from vision sensors are used to supplement the GPS pseudorange and pseudorange-rate ...
