  • Method for enhancing computer controlled missile performance
    Patent number: 5490093
    Abstract: A computer controlled apparatus, such as a missile (10), has its various operational characteristics precisely measured at a test station (16), for example. The apparatus data processor software (14) is then modified so as to enable accessing process correction or compensation data and the apparatus program memory is reprogrammed with personalized operational characteristics for the given apparatus. In use, the software (14) compensates to achieve operation based upon actual apparatus characteristics rather than unassumed values averaged from manufacturing tolerances.
