3
Idea about Ordinary Differential Equations
A Ordinary differential equation is an equation containing derivatives of a
dependent variable with respect to one independent variables.
i.e. its involving a function and its derivatives.
Example:
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
= 6𝑥𝑦 1
𝑥
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
+ 3𝑦 = 𝑦3
2
We are going to solve the Differential equation of the form
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
= 𝒇 𝒙, 𝒚
with some initial condition of 𝐲 𝟎 = 𝐲 𝒙 𝟎 .
𝒚𝒊+𝟏 = 𝒚𝒊 + 𝒇 𝒙, 𝒚 ∗ 𝒉
method
to predict future
Note: The numerical solution of the initial value problem (IVP) for ordinary
differential equations (ODE) is fundamental to most trajectory optimization
methods.
4
A fundamental source of error in Euler’s
method is that the derivative at the beginning
of the interval is assumed to apply across the
entire interval.
Euler’s Method (First order RK method)

𝑘1 = 𝑓 𝑥𝑖 , 𝑦𝑖
𝑘2 = 𝑓(𝑥𝑖 + ℎ , 𝑦𝑖 + 𝑘1ℎ)
𝑦𝑖+1 = 𝑦𝑖 + 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 ∗ ℎ
Where 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 is slope at initial point
Commonly used higher order method
5
Most popular Method of solving ODE
Here idea is ‘Slope is not always constant’,
rather than it also depend upon step size h.
Runge-Kutta (4th Order) Method of Solving ODE
We can divide the whole interval 𝑥𝑖+1 − 𝑥𝑖
in to no. of parts and calculate slope of each
parts then
Effective slope K=
𝟏
𝟔
(k1+ 2k2+ 2k3+ k4)
Where Slope at initial value k1 = h ∗f (x , y) ,
k2 = h ∗ f(x+h/2, y(x)+k1/2) ,
k3 = h ∗ f(x+h/2, y(x)+k2/2) and
Slope at the end k4 = h∗ f(x+dx, y(t)+k3)
𝒚𝒊+𝟏 = 𝒚𝒊 + K ∗ 𝒉
What is Missile ?
6
Any object thrown at a target with the aim of hitting the target is called Missile.
A stone thrown at a bird is
also a missile.
The bird, by using its power of reasoning may
evade the missile (the stone) by moving either to
the Left, right, top or bottom with respect to the
flight path (trajectory) of the missile.
What is Missile ?
7
Thus, the missile in this case has
been ineffective in its objective of
hitting the bird (the Target).
8
e.g.: The Stone thrown at a bird
 They are attractive because they
are inexpensive and they can cover
larger areas in short reaction
times.
 Dispersion is quite large
typically being around 5% of
their range which for a typical 20
km range can be more than 1 km.
Note: This rather large dispersion renders these unguided missiles not
useful for Precision applications
e.g. : Controlled Self-Propelled Missiles
 Provide energy source in a missile
for its movement (propulsion).
 Intelligence to go in the correct
direction (guidance).
 Effective control over entire flight
of the missile.

It was also determined theoretically that a 450 home run launch angle was optimal in
vacuum, while a 400 home run launch angle was in all environments with drag.

The trajectories are governed by Ordinary Differential Equations
(ODEs) which give the time rate of change of each state variable h(t),
V (t), m(t).
Note: In the presence of drag equation
cannot be integrated analytically
We need to predetermined ρ(h) according to the distance between the rocket
and the center of the earth. A linear interpolation was used to calculate ρ(h)
at these intermediate altitudes.
ρ(h) = ρ(hi ) + (ρ(hi+1) − ρ(hi )) h−hi / hi+1−hi

Continuous time traces approximated by discrete time traces.
Discretization Technique
The basic procedure is to
discretize over some small but
finite time interval before
numerically integrating equation.
We replace the continuous time
variable t with a time index
indicated by the subscript i,
so that the state variables are
defined only at discrete times t0,
t1, t2 . . . ti .
15
Midcourse Phase
In this phase a guidance
system hold the missile on
course and at required altitude
for a Iong time.
Launch Phase(Boost Phase)
During the launch phase aerodynamic requirements of the missile are
different and due to weight reduction and a consequent shift in the
Centre of gravity, the load, and the various parametric requirements of the
missile are altered.
Terminal Phase
In this phase a guided system
bring the missile accurately to the
target and make up for possible
deviations which might have crept
in during the flight.
Generally this decision has to be taken at very short intervals of time
(1/50th of a second) during the flight of the missile.

 Rockets have a mass distribution and cannot be accurately approximated by
their centroids.
 Over short ranges, the Earth‘s surface is approximately flat; however, over
longer ranges, Earth‘s curvature must be taken into consideration.

 Note that in the code, the angle of Fthrust was fixed constant during the duration
of the burn time. This is not true in real world application.

If India and Pakistan detonated 100 nuclear warheads (each equivalent to a 15-kiloton
Hiroshima bomb)
 More than 21 million people (Half the death toll of World War II) will die
immediately.
Blast effects, burns and acute radiation
Another two billion people worldwide would face risks of severe starvation due to
the climatic effects of the nuclear-weapon.
 Half the world's ozone layer would be destroyed.
 "Nuclear winter" would cripple monsoons and agriculture worldwide.
What happens if India and Pakistan both
fire nuclear warheads at each other?
