Abstract
The goal and characteristics of reusable remote vehicles guidance (RLV), navigation and control (GNC) are discussed. GNC technologies are critical for meeting safety/reliability and cost requirements for the next generation of reusable launch vehicles. The advanced RLV GNC technologies will lead to reduced cycle times during vehicle design and to reduced cost associated with demonstrating payloads and modified vehicles. The GNC technologies will also lead to more robustness to unforeseen circumstances in flight, therby enhancing safety and reducing risk.
