Abstract
A path following control architecture that drives a gliding missile, that is a missile without thrust, toward a prespecified linear path in an inertial frame using only torque control is developed and flight results are presented. A fast time-scale inner-loop control system stabilizes the orientation dynamics with a custom control law. Two slow time-scale outer-loop designs are proposed that render the inertial path exponentially stable for the missile’s translational dynamics. Since a gliding missile has no thrust input, the outer-loop is unable to directly actuate its control. Instead, we present an orientation extraction scheme to convert the outer-loop’s control signal into a desired orientation for the inner-loop. The control algorithm is implemented on a proprietary missile and empirical flight data are presented to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
