Before we get things started, this will be a multi-post thread over the next few months. At 26 years of age, I'm finally able to say my bachelors degrees are basically "in the bag". One of those degrees happens to be a BS in Mathematics, concentrated in applied mathematics and physics. Thus, the reason for my user name here on the forum.
With that said, I've been working on ballistic interception problems for my undergraduate "thesis equivalent" with a former Czech scientist now teaching in the states. To make this interesting, I'd like to see some forum participation in the form of suggestions.... Suffice to say, you may suggest the following:
1.) missile type (patriot, icbm, etc.?)
2.) targets (moscow, d.c., etc.?)
3.) weather conditions (clear, snowy, rainy, etc.?)
4.) time considerations (morning, afternoon, evening?)
5.) land or sea launches?
6.) perhaps you would like to add something else?
Basically, I'm trying to create a "real" scenario, using your input. This is something I cannot replicate in a lab, because I need this to be as randomly planned as possible in order to develop a method of solving "on the fly" interception problems.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
