Abstract

ABSTRACT
One of the main issues within aerospace and robotics applications is the Kinematics equations of
guided missiles. Investigation and analysis of these equations in both homing and command guidance
systems consider the missile as an immaterial/massless point moving with a known velocity. In
addition, the nature of applications necessitates this process to be fast in computations and easy or
concise in manipulation. Therefore, the objective is to reformulate these equations using the properties
and the geometrical significance of Clifford algebra. This formulation may be easier and more obvious
than the other traditional methods as it unites vectors of different planes into a single mathematical
system with a comprehensive geometric significance.
