• 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 / GNSS is an aircraft satellite navigation system that provides precise position, velocity, and time data using global constellations like GPS and Galileo) 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 (Johnso...
