- Analysis of the stresses and strains the one-way effector airframe will be subject to, alongside the structural performance of the airframe design and materials.
- Assessment of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signal re-acquisition time at various points in boost phase, based on previously provided ephemeris, time and position data.
- Monte Carlo simulations of INS (Inertial Navigation System) only and GNSS only performance across various conditions to assess impact of GNSS signal loss or INS saturation. Variables include:
- Duration of INS only / GNSS only
- Positions on the flight path at GNSS loss / INS saturation
- INS / GNSS performance characteristics
- Investigation to understand the process for how GNSS data is provided to the effector whilst at the launch location, and the intended mechanism for how effector maintains or re-acquires GNSS during the boost phase.
- Investigation into the expected RF noise profile across the flightpath, accounting for:
- Adversary Jamming
- Self generated noise (electronic components)
- Thermal (Johnson–Nyquist) noise
- Comparison of various GNSS Receivers to identify most suitable candidate, accounting for:
- Survivability
- Operating Restrictions
- Signal Acquisition Strategy
- Noise Mitigations
- Guidance and logic on how synchronised launches from different platforms should be planned and conducted to minimise the risk of mid-air collision by effectors. Details on launch procedures for pre-authorised launch and operator launch.
- Assessment of Effector re-entry angle, loads experienced, correction factors (static margin etc) in the upper atmosphere before air density becomes useful. Considerations to include:
- Entry attitude
- Unwanted yaw
- Roll-axis misalignment
- Aerodynamic stability
- Spin
- Aerodynamic torque
- Structural bending
- Atmospheric gusts
- Miscourse duration
- Inertial forces
- Development of autopilot functionality, trajectory calculations and comparison, corrective manoeuvre calculation.
