Deterministic Guidance Specs

• G-FOLD Algorithm: Convex optimization yields global fuel-optimal descent without iterative divergence.
• TVC Gimbal Bounds: ±5.0 deg hydraulic actuator limit.
• Titanium Grid Fins: Hypersonic pitch/roll stability, lift-over-drag control down to transonic entry.
• Sub-millisecond Determinism: Dual-core lockstep safety CPU cycle < 0.50 ms latency.
