1. The error analysis and the miss le tracking capabilities of K.l\PPAa.re isplayed in Figures 10-15. These plo s were taken from two KAPPAruns (adaptive and non-adaptive) of an FPS-16 radar track of a NIKE missile fired from Wallops Island. The trajectory analysis begins shortly after first stage burn-out, is followed through second itage ignition and burnout, and then well past apogee (see altitude vs time, Figure 10).
2. Figures 16-18 display a recent ape!!- cation of KAPPA, and suggest so-01t1· cations to enhance KAPPA1s capao 111t1es. The plots are of FPQ-6 radar tracks of two super-critical designed fuselages that were air-dropped ac Wallops. The aerodynamic d,csign was expected to exhibit a minimum drag ei:fect wh:ile passing through Ma.ch .l'. Figure 16 displa}~·s accel.eratio:n vs veloc 1 y from the normal RAE measurements processea by KAPPA. The resulting noise re.lative to the desired parameter fluctuation at r-1ach.l in this run was much too high, Figure 16. Suoer-Critical Body No. 3
