Abstract: Mustang proposes to modify the 25-year old mode control board in the seeker to add an interface to the GCU. This would enable the affordable implementation of the target selection algorithms in the GCU, which has available throughput to implement them. The mode control board currently has access to the required data and control signals necessary for the GCU to implement a good track-while-scan capability. Since the Mode Control design is over 25 years old, its functionality can now be replicated using much less circuit board area, leaving room for new interface circuitry.
Benefits: Improved target discrimination and selection capability for the Harpoon radar seeker.
