The Prediction of Ballistic Missile Trajectories from Radar Observations.
New York: 1958. Reissued 7 April 1958. Hardcover. vi, 208, [2] pages. Footnotes. Formulae, Figures. Tables. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. This is an ex-library work with usual markings. Previous owner's mailing label affixed to inside of front cover. Name stamped on bottom edge. Ink notation there as well. The author was with Lincoln Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This report has as its main concern an investigation of methods for predicting properties of a ballistic missile trajectory. The predictions are based on information obtained from radar observations of the missile. In general, the totality of different radar measurements provides redundant date, i.e. provides more data that the minimum necessary to dynamically specify a trajectory. More
