This tool allows you to input the three properties of nominals (Altitude, True Airspeed, and Bank Angle) and see the effect it will have on the trainable box of the 105mm projected onto the ground. This will allow you to get into the ballpark of the best nominals for a given mission.
I don't have the drag curve for the 30mm… yet. Once I do, I'll be able to superimpose both trainable boxes.
Being able to accurately engage an enemy target within close proximity of friendly forces, from thousands of feet away, with a non-guided munition is the expertise of side firing gunships. Any procedure or technique which could enhance the accuracy of a gunship’s munitions would be a valued addition to the communities knowledge, and has the potential to save lives. To this end, this paper presents a machine learning algorithm capable of predicting corrections to the lag and depression angles of the 105mm Howitzer. These corrections are learned over time, and applied after several inputs into the system. Similar to manual procedure known as a tweak, this automatic learning algorithm has the potential to be able to simultaneously correct wind and gun errors, while maintaining a ‘memory’ of previous inputs. The technique presented here is also amicable to other caliber projectile weapons, and to correcting sensor and inertial navigation unit discrepancies with the proper tooling.
This paper analyzes the five charted inputs of Gross Weight, Pressure Altitude, Temperature Deviation, Engine Efficiency, and Variant Drag Coefficient to the four engine climb speed for H variants of the C-130. As some these inputs into the chart are variable during the flight profile, the optimal climb speed will change accordingly. A linear equation is presented to model the effects of this change during a standard four engine climb.
When using Hugo to build my site, I have to run the Hugo static site generator and then upload it to my AWS S3 bucket. While this is only a couple of commands in the command line, I don't want to have to repeat myself if I don't have to. This sounded like a perfect use for a BASH script.
