Question: Drone A is flying with constant speed U along the straigh line, characterised with constant distance H from this
Drone A is flying with constant speed U along the straigh line, characterised with constant distance H from this surface.
Angle of inclination of the surface "theta" is known.
Orthogonal projection of the drone A on the surface is denoted as Bie ABH
When drone is discovered by the drone distroyer P the drone is locatated uphill at the distance D from the point Bie PDD and this time is assumed to be zero.
Some time later, at the proper time, projectile is launched towards the drone at angle "beta" relative to the inclined ground surface, as shown in the Figure.
Determine this time in seconds of the launch of the projectile measured from the discovery of drone enabling intercept of the drone at Point as per the Figure.
Assume NO air resistance.
Also, assume the following parameters:
velocity of the drone Ums
initial velocity of the projectile vms
inclination angle of the ground surface thetadeg
projectile shooting angle in the inclined coordinates betadeg
hight level of the trajectory of the drone ABHm
distance from projectile launcher P to the point Bbeing orthogonal projection of the drone A on the ground surface PBDm
intercept Point: number ie point with larger projectile flight time to intercept
Recommendation: you may wish to consider using inclined coordinates hbar, zbar to formulate differential equations of motion of the projectile and solving them using MATLAB's ODE solver.Figure: Projectile intercepting drone: notations. Not to scale
