National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

MEMO: A Model for Evaluating Missile Observation Information.

AD875837

Publication Date	1970
Personal Author	Pipes, L. J.
Page Count	68
Abstract	The memorandum describes a mathematical model for processing and evaluating information obtained from observations of missile firings from silo complexes. The model, MEMO (Model for Evaluating Missile Observation information), was developed as an aid for investigating the empty-silo problem (sometimes referred to as the empty-hole problem). The empty-silo problem basically consists of determining a unique a posteriori probability distribution of residual missiles in a silo complex from which some missile launches have been observed. MEMO enables the simulation and investigation of these events as well as other aspects of the problem, e.g., cases involving noncircular errors. (Author)
