The development of Vega passed major milestones in 2007 and 2008, providing essential results in terms of test data and design consolidation. These will lead to the Qualification Flight from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana at the end of 2009. This will be an important step in the implementation of the European strategy in the launcher sector and the guarantee of access to space for Europe, as endorsed by the ESA Ministerial Council in 2003. The ex p l o i t ation of this new ESA developed launcher will widen the range of launch services offered by launchers developed and produced by European industry and will improve launch flexibility by providing a more adapted response for a wide range of European institutional space missions, as well as an optimised family of launchers to serve commercial market needs. esa bulletin 135 - august 2008 45 Vega The former ELA-1 Ariane-1 launch pad at Kourou has Stefano Bianchi, Renato Lafranconi & been transformed for Vega.

No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of Cranfield University and without acknowledging that it may contain copyright material owned by MBDA UK Limited. i ii ABSTRACT When considering advances in “smart” weapons it is clear that air-launched systems have adopted an integrated approach to meet rigorous requirements, whereas air-defence systems have not. The demands on sensors, state observation, missile guidance, and simulation for air-defence is the subject of this research. Historical reviews for each topic, justification of favoured techniques and algorithms are provided, using a nomenclature developed to unify these disciplines. Sensors selected for their enduring impact on future systems are described and simulation models provided. Complex internal systems are reduced to simpler models capable of replicating dominant features, particularly those that adversely effect state observers. Of the state observer architectures considered, a distributed system comprising ground based target and own-missile tracking, data up-link, and on-board missile measurement and track fusion is the natural choice for air-defence. An IMM is used to process radar measurements, combining the estimates from filters with different target dynamics. The remote missile state observer combines up-linked target tracks and missile plots with IMU and seeker data to provide optimal guidance information.

  • 2005-06 Executive Budget Overview
    January 18, 2005 To My Fellow New Yorkers, Working together, New Yorkers have faced many great challenges during the past few years. Our success in meeting the incredible challenges presented to us by September 11th shows that New Yorkers have both the foresight and the fortitude to conquer even unfathomable adversity. As I present my Executive Budget, New York’s economy continues to improve, and every day we are seeing signs of a more positive and more hopeful tomorrow. During the past ten years, we have won major victories for New York’s working families and businesses. We have cut taxes and reduced the regulatory burden on businesses to create jobs. We have provided record amounts of State aid to education and helped seniors. We have passed tough, new laws to protect our citizens and made sound investments to preserve our natural resources. And, we have reformed the size and scope of government, and, in fact, reformed government itself. But, we must continue to do more. The 2005-06 Executive Budget that I am submitting to the Legislature builds on what we have accomplished together by smartly focusing on a number of important areas where we need to continue moving forward and doing more. This Executive Budget provides targeted tax incentives to improve the economy in areas of the State that need it the most and implements policies designed to make New York the safest State in the nation. It offers record amounts of aid to local governments and local schools, and institutes a host of governmental and programmatic reforms — many of which will save taxpayer dollars and dramatically improve services.
