Decision making unit for autonomous platform

Abstract: Decision making unit suitable for an autonomous platform, such as an airplane. Comprising means for receiving at least one ability request, means for preconditioning the received ability request, means for filtering the preconditioned ability request, means for generating a set of behaviour instructions associated with the filtered ability request; and means for priority processing of the filtered ability request. Furthermore the decision making unit is provided with means for generating at least one control signal depending upon the priority processing of the filtered ability request, wherein the control signal comprises information about the generated set of behaviour instructions.

Launch tube protective cover

Abstract: A launch tube protective cover for mounting to a launch tube including a projectile. The launch tube protective cover is arranged for protecting the interior of the launch tube from external environment. The launch tube protective cover includes a flexible rippable vapor barrier faced towards the projectile and circumferentially attached to the launch tube.

A composite article comprising particles and a method of forming a composite article

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite article 801, wherein the article has a longitudinal direction L and a transversal direction T, the article 801 comprises a stack of plies wherein one ply is a bottom ply and one ply is a top ply, most or all of the plies comprise fibres, and the article comprises a plurality of plies having fibres substantially in the orthogonal direction 810 and substantially in the same direction 811 as the longitudinally direction L of the article 801, wherein the bottom ply and the top ply have fibres in a substantially orthogonal direction 810 to the longitudinal L direction of the article 801, at least one ply has the fibres substantially in the same direction 811 as the longitudinal direction L of the article 801, wherein at least one of the ply/plies having fibres substantially in the longitudinal direction L comprise/s particles selected from the group of thermoplastic tougheners, nano particles, micro particles, elastic particles, elastomer particles and polymer particles or a combination of them. The present invention also relates to an method of forming an article on a tool.

Method for controlling a missile

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for guidance of a missile in the final phase of the missile's flight path when the missile's homing device has locked onto a target or when specified final phase criteria are met. Conventional guidance of a missile is often based on principles for proportional navigation. As claimed in the present invention a new guidance principle is introduced in the final stage of the missile's guidance during the final phase (TG), which can be initiated when the missile locks onto a target, and which final phase is followed by an alignment phase (IF). The basis of this guidance principle is that a reference trajectory (TTG) is determined for the final phase (TG) as soon as the missile or other sensor has locked onto the target. The missile is then guided to follow the determined reference trajectory (TTG) by means, for example, of some known principle for proportional navigation.
