The time taken to travel between points (a) and (b) is ( b<br />

t a ). When the time<br />

b<br />

difference is small it is permissible to use the delta notation ( ∆ ta<br />

) to<br />

emphasis this fact. All variables are treated as “current”, for example, A(k)<br />

represents the current value of (A). When the same variable is required one<br />

or more algorithmic cycles ago separate variables are used in the simulation<br />

to represent A(k-1), A(k-2) etc.<br />

The following nomenclature associated with time is reserved for:<br />

• tS The time at which the missile is committed to launch and its sensors<br />

are activated.<br />

• tL The launch time when the firing chain is complete and first motion in<br />

the launcher is allowed.<br />

When dealing with time stamped asynchronous sensor measurements from<br />

different sources their source is identified, for example, (GRt) represents data<br />

from the ground radar.<br />

The measurement sources that may be referenced in this way are:<br />

• GR : Ground Radar<br />

• GS : Missile Gyroscope triad<br />

• AC : Missile Accelerometer triad<br />

• BA : Barometric altimeter<br />

• RA : Radar altimeter<br />

• SK : Seeker<br />

• FN : Control surface actuators<br />

• GP : NAVSTAR GPS<br />

• HM : Helmet mounted sight<br />

• AD : Air data system<br />
