Detailed Documentation

This project implements a proportional navigation guidance trajectory simulation through a MATLAB-developed GUI interface. The simulation models the movement characteristics and flight dynamics of guided missile trajectories. Through the GUI interface, users can input relevant parameters such as initial velocity, launch angle, and environmental conditions to simulate guidance trajectories under various scenarios. Key implementation features include MATLAB's ode45 solver for trajectory integration and animated visualization using plot functions with real-time updates. Additional functionality can be incorporated for data visualization using MATLAB's plotting tools (plot, scatter, comet) and result analysis through statistical functions, enabling users to better understand and evaluate simulation outcomes. This simulation tool assists engineers and researchers in studying and designing guidance trajectory systems, helping improve their performance and accuracy through parameter optimization studies and Monte Carlo analysis capabilities. The code structure typically includes main GUI callback functions, trajectory calculation algorithms, and visualization modules that interact through MATLAB's handle graphics system.
