GNC Overview

The Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) subsystem is responsible for directing the missile to its intended target.

Components

The GNC system consists of three main components:

  • Guidance: Determines the desired trajectory to reach the target
  • Navigation: Estimates the current position and velocity
  • Control: Commands the actuators to follow the desired trajectory

This section provides detailed coverage of each component.
