Guidance and Control, Concerned with the application of the principles of control theory to the analysis and design of guidance systems for aerospace (aircraft, missiles, projectiles, etc.) vehicles or devices. Classical and modern control theory techniques can be applied to the analysis and synthesis of open loop and/or closed loop systems intended for control, regulation, or adjustment of electrodynamic, electromechanical, or mechanical apparatus. The methodology may employ the formulation of system models and subsequent application of transform and/or state variable theory, digital or analog computer simulation and statistical techniques to predict response, stability and design adequacy. Within this specialty are included theoretical studies of guidance concepts for application to specific problems, and the design, fabrication, and evaluation of hardware guidance components and systems.
