    abstract

    Analogue computers are the usual medium for simulating the dynamic behaviour of a missile, while trajectory calculation and guidance law evaluation are normally done on digital computers. In this report, an analogue method for simulating the movement of the centre of gravity will be given and three methods for simulating optimum guidance laws by parallel or sequential analogue techniques will be described.
