Abstract
The problem studied in this paper is that of
obtaining optimum trajectories, such as the one for effecting
interception of a target following a known course above the sensible
atmosphere, with minimum fuel consumption, or in minimum
time c A procedure is given for determining the trajectory on a
digital computer, and some conditions are given for the corresponding
optimum trajectories,. The methods apply generally to
problems wherein the range and time are not too great and the
terminal velocity is irrelevant.
