Abstract	The JHU/APL Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Group provides technical leadership for the invention and application of GNC concepts and designs needed to solve significant sponsor problems, the integration of GNC systems with the larger system solution, the application of simulation and test analyses to identify critical GNC performance shortfalls, flight control actuator test facilities and testing, and the development of dynamics simulation tools. Some current advanced concept development efforts include: Intercept point prediction for boosting threats, Terminal guidance against boosting threats, newSM-3 flyout guidance concepts, Information-sensitive terminal guidance and Swarm-on-swarm guidance (a.k.a. cooperative homing missiles). The Group is also actively involved in: SM-3 and KW GNC modeling and simulation, SM-3 alternative divert and attitude control system (DACS) modeling and simulation, SM-3 second stage autopilot improvements, SM-2 Block IIIB forced dither control design, SM-2 guidance and control improvements, and SM-6 GNC design
