Hypervelocity Weapon Terminal Defense Fire Control System
Hypervelocity Weapon Terminal Defense Fire Control System: The HFCS was developed
as a test bed to validate the feasibility of a fire control sensor with sufficient
accuracy to command guide an interceptor to hit-to-kill an incoming ballistic missile
warhead out to a range of 25 km. Demonstrations included cross range precision CEP of
18 cm at a 24.8 km range, and tracking hypervelocity projectiles fired at up to 2 km
per second. Technovative Applications developed the tracking system and the
in-projectile binary phase coded waveform communications module that was hardened to
100k G's.
