Abstract: Discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for determining whether to conduct a mission. A method can include partitioning, by processing circuitry configured to implement a model for determining a value representing a probability that operation of an electronic part of a device will be upset by a single event effect (SEE), a trajectory of the device into disjoint time segments. The method can include determining, based on an effective shielding of the device and one or more flux lookup tables (LUTs) for each of the time segments, respective SEE rates experienced by the electronic part for each time segment. The method can include determining, based on the determined respective SEE rates and using the model, the probability. The method can include permitting the device to traverse the trajectory only if the determined probability is less than a specified threshold.

Abstract: Embodiments of a propulsion and maneuvering system that may be suitable for use during a terminal phase in an interceptor are generally described herein. The propulsion and maneuvering system may include one or more axial thrusters to provide thrust along axial thrust lines that run through a center-of-gravity of the interceptor and a plurality of divert thrusters to provide thrust in radial directions. The combination of divert and axial thrusters may allow the interceptor to respond to a maneuvering target and may allow the interceptor to increase its velocity along a line-of-sight (LOS) to a target to change target impact/engagement time.
