Method for fire control of an anti-aircraft gun

This invention describes a method for aiming an anti-aircraft gun at incoming aerial targets. It works by continuously tracking a target's location, figuring out its speed and where it's headed, and then predicting if it will hit a protected object. The method specifically guides the gun using a calculation that multiplies the target's observed acceleration by the squared predicted time until impact, divided by its distance, and also considers the target's estimated maximum acceleration.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread maturation of real-time sensor fusion and predictive algorithms on edge computing platforms. These advancements now simplify the complex estimation and guidance calculations required.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedReal-time sensors, complex guidance software, weapon integration.
