The guidance system employs a numerical Newton-Raphson restoration technique to update steering parameters, coupled with heuristic logic, to improve robustness. The guidance system uses a prediction of the final state of the launch vehicle to close the feedback loop and is therefore called "predictive guidance".enConference paper002004159656190
