The Control Loop

Technical breakdowns of aerospace, autonomy, navigation, and defense technology—written to connect engineering detail with system and market context.

Editorial focus

What we publish

Each issue starts with a technical question and follows it through architecture, constraints, tradeoffs, and implications.

Explainers

Technology deep dives

Breakdowns of inertial systems, guidance concepts, control architectures, sensors, autonomy stacks, and enabling technologies.

Systems

Architecture analysis

How components become capabilities—and where integration, timing, interfaces, and environmental constraints shape performance.

Industry

Market context

Technical context for aerospace and defense markets, suppliers, programs, and emerging technology categories.

Build from the fundamentals

Use the research library to refresh the GNC concepts behind the technologies covered in The Control Loop.
