  • Object detection system and method of estimating object size
    Patent number: 6794987
    Abstract: A collision detection system and method of estimating a miss distance of an object and estimating length and width of the object are provided. The collision detection system includes a sensor for sensing an object within a field of view and measuring range and range rate of the sensed object. The collision detection system further includes a controller for estimating a miss distance of the object and further estimating length and width of the object as a function of the range and the range rate.

  • Launcher control system
    Patent number: 5118050
    Abstract: In a weapon system 10 incorporating a target position sensor (14), an information system (16), a power source (22), a launcher (20), and an airborne vehicle (18), a launcher control system (12) which incorporates a communications interface (26) for coupling the information system (16) and the target position sensor (14) to a launcher (20) and an airborne vehicle (18). The communications interface (26) receives target position information and launch and control orders and provides launcher and airborne vehicle status. A airborne vehicle interface (28) couples the launcher (20) and the airborne vehicle (18) to the information system (16) and a power source (22). A transmitter (30) communicates updated target position information to the airborne vehicle after launch. A power control unit (32) converts and regulates power from different power sources (22) to be used by the launcher control system (12).
