Missile Guidance for Dummies

[baruch60610]

Well, the upside of this is that, if missiles are really guided like this, they'll never hit their targets.

[visioneerone]

What.

[WebSoldier]

The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

[WebSoldier]

Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.

[WebSoldier]

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is.

this is a joke right?

Where am I?

Missile guidance for dummies.... ROFL.

[Mac10Mackey]

this also applies to my penis

[lyssa489]

[Flightkid9]

...is it strange that I sort of understood most of that?

[togoni]

omg i remember this video from tech school! AMMO!!

[antdude]

I was waiting for beep for the next slide.

[austin0125]

what

[Adjuni]

Wow. I have never been this clueless. EVER.

[naters4lad]

This reminds me of that video about "How to open a door." Lol. Or how to use the word f*ck and where the origins of the word came from lol.

[antdude]

@naters4lad What is the video URL? :)

[netsurferx1]

Or, in plain English: "The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it uses fucking GPS. Thank you."

[TheTapeandscissors]

@netsurferx1 What are you smoking? A GPS is absolutely useless for anti-air purposes.

[mourerj]

@serial507023 You're little rant reveals such intelligence! I'm blown away, no, really!!

[Fowarderboy]

Fuck...

[rajithaify]

the missile isn't wasn't is was there wtf

[boettcherownzu]

If this is for dummies, my head would probably explode if I heard the normal version. /facepalm

[ArmTheHomel3ss]

lol this is for the Canadians

[thebytegrill]

@ArmTheHomel3ss

I'm not a canadian but I'm guessing your American

peace V

[TwinUzis]

@thebytegrill

His American peace? That makes no sense, because as any intelligent person knows, "your" implies ownership.

[thebytegrill]

@TwinUzis

yup I can't spell sometimes... but any intelligent person knows what I meant. Thank's for pointing that out though!

[Nin10Gamer]

Lol!
