Gears of war: When mechanical analog computers ruled the …
网页2020年5月24日 · The automated AGS can fire 10 rocket-assisted, precision-guided projectiles per minute at targets over 100 miles away. Those projectiles use GPS and inertial guidance to improve the gun’s...
Analog computer - Wikipedia
网页An analog computer or analogue computer is a type of computation machine (computer) that uses the continuous variation aspect of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities (analog signals) to model the problem being solved.
The Underappreciated Power of the Apollo Computer - The ... - The Atlantic
网页2019年7月16日 · The Apollo Guidance Computer, in both its guises—one on board the core spacecraft, and the other on the lunar module—was a triumph of engineering.
The German V-2 Rocket: Adapting Navigation and Guidance …
网页2021年6月21日 · To fix this, the Germans added a simple analog computer that “combined the beam rider circuitry with the attitude [orientation] control system.” The attitude control system contained several components. One component was a primitive version of a pendulous integrating gyroscopic accelerometer (PIGA).
Guiding the Guided Missiles - CHM Revolution
网页The earliest guidance system was the Mischgerät analog computer aboard Germany’s V-2 rockets, controlling both horizontal direction and altitude. In the 1950s, Cold War nuclear missile arsenals demanded even more sophisticated guidance technology.
V2 Computer - cdvandt.org
网页Helmut Hoelzer's Fully Electronic Analog Computer used in the German V2 (A4) rockets. Most likely, world's first airborne programmable analog computer. Based on Hoelzer's talk of about 1990, at the Museum für Verkehr und Technik, now known as: Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin. Mainly German language, PDF
网页Analog computers were very well suited for real time simulation of the flights of airplanes and rockets, whereas the generation of random numbers and the application of Monte–Carlo–methods were only possible on digital

网页Hoelzer developed the Mischgerät and from it his more full featured analog simulation computer. The simulation computer allowed him to validate the Mischgerat's function in two degrees of freedom prior to flight test. He built a couple of examples at Peenemüende, one of which followed him to the US. Sources: Dornburger, Walter (1954), "V2"
V-2 rocket launch - CHM Revolution
网页After World War II, captured V-2 rockets—and captured rocket engineers—helped jump-start the U.S. missile program. Helmut Hoelzer brought not only rocket expertise, but also an early analog computer he used in Germany during the War to simulate them.</p>
网页The computer was based on an electronic integrator and differentiator conceived by Hoelzer in 1935 and first applied to the guidance system of the A-4 rocket (Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister dubbed, V 2, AOB). This computer is significant in the history not only of analog computation but also of the formulation of simulation techniques.
