Missile Data & Engagement Exercises

This document contains problems and exercises related to missiles and missile guidance systems. It asks the reader to collect key data on four different types of missiles and consult specific volumes of Jane's Weapon Systems. It also provides figures and asks the reader to analyze missile-target engagement geometry, including calculating closing velocity, turn rate with lateral acceleration, collision course angle, and heading error.

PROBLEMS AND EXERCISES

1. Collect the following data for one missile each from the SSM, SAM,
ASM and AAM categories: Name of the missile, type of missile(a short
description), country of origin, height or length, diameter, weight, range ,

90
airframe conguration, warhead, guidance system, propulsion system, speed.
Include any other data about the missile which you may nd of interest.

You may consult JANES WEAPON SYSTEMS. Give reference to the


specic volume you have consulted.

2. Consider the missile-target engagement geometry shown below. Find


the following (a) closing velocity (b) R (c) LOS rate (d)estimated time-to-go
(e) turn rate and the radius of turn of the missile if a latax of 25 m/sec2 is
applied by the missile in a direction normal to the missile velocity factor (f)
the angle so that the missile is on a collision course with the target(Note:
The missile is on a collision course with the target if the LOS rate is zero)
(g)the heading error (Note: The heading error is the dierence between the
actual missile-angle (with respect to the reference) and the missile angle
required for collision course).
