BPS: I’m being intentionally vague so I don’t piss off ITAR police Lafayette:

Yooo....according to bro ITAR stands for "I Talk About Rockets".

Man, being the DOD guy who gets to monitor your channel must be a sweet gig.

Dude is building a sidewinder missile

Super cool! Also dude I'm telling you, control roll with just one fin! It's so hard to get good roll precision while using all four fins and the pitch/yaw disturbances are basically zero for using 1

It's quite fascinating that currently we have resources available for the general public to build a rocket brain like this :D Imagine doing that in 1950's

Bros a walking ITAR violation

All I'm gonna say is "Tactical and Strategic Missile Guidance vol 6 "

The safety culture that armature rocketeers keep is really awesome. It reminds me of what the RC multirotor hobby was like before the uneducated got hold of drones from DJI and other companies, and governments quickly banned everything. That safety culture will keep the hobby alive and thriving for as long as it is maintained. You guys are awesome!

Raytheon told me they would like to talk you

The missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn't! 😂

I’m still impressed you just got the flight control system to keep the rocket from spinning! The other stuff is just, wow…. 🤯

This is one of the most professional rocketry video I’ve ever seen on KZfaq 👍

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

0.00001 nanosecond after he post it The ATF: *KNOCK KNOCK*

You and BPS Space need to talk, he’s building up to a space shot, some of your R&D would probably be useful. Also please post some sort of articles for fellow amateurs to implement and understand what you have built, please. I’d love to understand the electronics and code side of this better to basically do the same thing but with side mounted cameras. Not saying share code btw just understanding concepts and software language better in context to these sorts of things.

It's crazy how many people don't understand ITAR

You are 100% on a watchlist! Great vids!

I worked with the fin mechanism of a guided missile for a large defense contractor and it’s very interesting to see the difference between what you’ve come up with and what is used in the field.

Fins are incredibly difficult to use for rocket guidance because they give you an enormous power of steering in all axis. 1 degree off and your rocket will break under the high g forces… This rocket is a masterpiece!

THE MISSILE KNOWS WHERE IT IS

super impressive. extremely high level engineering. its gotta be so satisfying seeing your guidance system working in the air.

Have the alphabet people knocked on your door yet? This thing is sweet.

My curiosity won, and now I'm on the DOD's watchlist

It's encouraging to see someone move the state of the art of rocketry ahead....good work!!

**The US Air Force is requesting your location**

Congratulations 🎉 Welcome to the 3 letter agencies list 😂

Your production quality is getting better as fast as the guidance system! Keep it up! Love your videos! 🚀

Great work so far! I can't wait to see the next few flights!

This is gonna be a banger.

Outstanding presentation of the system. Looking forward to Hatchet.

Just admit it…. At this point you just trying to build a diy javelin missile😂

In Germany for example, building an amateur rocket with any kind of control mechanism able to actively modify the flight path is illegal, and you'd get into very serious trouble for it (possibly jail time), because it's considered military weapons technology here. Kudos for including that section on laws and safety at the end of the video!

Haven’t even watched the vid yet and I’m less than 30 seconds in and i already subscribed, this is the kind of content I love to find on KZfaq

i allways thought there was a reaons for youtube rockets to go only go up, i think youre reaaallyyy pushing the limit here, i love it i'm downloading this

I'll have to install a few of these on my property so when the neighbors piss me off... lol

Fantastic vid. Really cool tech and amazing footage. The last video to were cool but this one was next level. Can’t wait for the next.

Incredible flights and precision!

Seriously awesome stuff!!!!

Awesome video as allways! 🥳

Thanks for the tutorial! I'll go build a guided missle right now.

idk why but the fact that he uses names like Data Link and INS is amazing, probably because i'm using to hearing it when i'm playing DCS but i love it

Dynamic waypoints when

Nice work. The level of control is impressive. Those onboard camera sounds are sweet.

wow that’s gotta be the coolest thing i’ve ever seen

We shoudl seriously turn this into a hobby just like how drones and RC Planes turned to a hobby. This would be so much fun.

Cool stuff.....keep building and flying

Nice work!

I see the mignature of something that looks like a missile, I go look and its literally a missile !!!! as a nerd that likes rocketry and engineering, this is like the dream, also, that channel name sounds like a french company that would make jet fighters and missiles, this feels like at the limit of what would be legally allowed on youtube and I love it

Well done. Need a steerable chute to bring it back to the launch pad.

Really unique content. Thank you it

For representative statistics, it would be great to randomize the waypoints👍(maybe within a certain radius)

Chatgpt is truly incredible

The joy of rural life

Next Video: ITAR Raided my Home

saving this for later

Amazing video, you've got my sub.

ITAR doesn't scare bro

The sidewinder for the everyman.

Homemade sidewinders, I will be following

The rocket knows where it is, by knowing where it isn’t

Damn I love your videos so much Pls keep it up btw, the AIM-9s have a control system, which are increaseing their control athority step by step after launch. Seems lke a good idea for Diamond-X as well

Wow, nice

Are you using Euler angles (rotated) or are you using quaternions to determine the current orientation of the rocket?

Bravo.go ahead

Criminally underrated channel

CIA called, apparently some guy they named "ITAR" is searching for ya

Instead of printing parts at 100% infill, print them with 99 walls (obviously that many walls won't actually print) - walls provide strength along the axis you need for the application of chute line anchor.

you have officially blown up and became viral imo

It's good he called it "Waypoints" not "Targets"

Insane

KZfaq: less than 30 rounds in a magazine Also KZfaq: hey kid wanna see how to make an AMRAAM in your garage?

Finally someone, who said what joe was too afraid to say

They came a long way

Mr Wernher von Braun junior. I especially love thouse views from rocket itself. (no pun intended).

What if your way point is moving like real life scenarios? Love this video and also the safety part.

This is motivating me to try and make a guided missile for my large-scale RC planes

I remember when Mark Rober tried making something and someone in defense told him it was illegal to do so 😂

looks like bro developing his own air defence.😅cool

Congratulations! You made a missile!

Dang that is very cool. I'm an engine electronic controls guy from a long time ago. ITAR can really be a PITA.

So guided missiles are okay to build, as long as they don't go kaboom! That rocket could be used for interception purposes

You should setup an algorithm verification pipeline which tests the control sw in sim everytime you make a change. It is a bit more work in the beginning but will pay thicc dividends in the end. Cheers!

I was at Muncie,on 4th flight,I have your video on my ch. Cool stuff back in the day we couldn't have Guidance due to 911. I'd love to print your rocket for my fun.

Based video

Someone pleeeeease, give this man a job at the militart industrial complex. Innocent lives wont be lost by themselves

I love the external design of this rocket. Do you have plans available to recreate it as a "dumb rocket"?

i can sense ITAR at your doorstep

Make it go horizontal at a given altitude and make propulsion last much longer. Go to several GPS waypoints and make it scan ground topography and cruise at xx meters above ground. 😀

The accuracy of this system is extremely impressive, even flight 5's late activation and missaligned roll was handled exceptionally. How did you tune everything? It seems hard to select good constants, but you also mention it does some calibration on initial lift off, does that help somehow?

in the future try and build a cool launch system. maybe with kinetic energy (flywheel) or an electromagnetic rail or something.

"I am not supplying code, cad or PCB files for this project." BORING how else am I supposed to make ballistic weapons that can hit a fly a content away????? Fund my own researchers???? Cringe.

Hatchet, the rocket/drone thing with a ducted fan... I think that called a cruise missile :D

Congrats!!! 1. You could put 2 or 3 waypoints on each flight to gather more data. 2. How precise is your measuring system of actual path and how it works?

With an active waypoint updating this could be a decent surface to air drone defense "rocket".

فيديو جيد، وأنا أقوم بتدوين الملاحظات

Do you think it could be helpful to check at the transition of Launch-Dir-Hold to Waypoint whether the angle or resulting force between the current trajectory and the predicted trajectory would exceed a threshold for safe maneuver?

Has this man built an entire GPS guided Sidewinder using the metric system?

This could litterly be a good way to make crude but effective guided missile guidance systems for countries that can't make state of the art weapons or one that wants to make something cheap and easy off the shelf components or just both is very useful i think this is possibly the next thing for cheap low grade effective precision guided weapons

Congratulations! You won a visit from the US department of homeland security or something like that
