The numerical analysis of dynamics and control of a gyroscopic scanning system in an anti-aircraft missile launcher

The dynamics of a gyroscopic scanning system mounted on a mobile launcher, e.g. motor vehicle, was determined using a numerical analysis procedure. The system is designed to detect a maneuvering aerial target while the vehicle carrying the launcher moves over uneven terrain. Higher mobility of the system leads to a shorter interception time. The results of a computer simulation were displayed graphically.
