ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,298,106, issued on May 13, was assigned to Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of the University of Arizona (Tucson, Ariz.).

"Line of sight bias for missile guidance" was invented by Brian Gaudet (Tucson, Ariz.) and Roberto Furfaro (Tucson, Ariz.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A missile guidance method that applies a curvature parameterization to a line-of-sight unit vector between a missile and a target. A line-of-sight rotation rate is derived from the line-of-sight unit vector with the applied curvature parameterization. In some embodiments, the curvature parameterization is learned by a deep learning network (e.g., a deep neural netwo...
