DIGITAL SIMULATION MODELS OF CANDIDATE TACTICAL WEAPONS

Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. LEXINGTON MASSACHUSETTS A five degree-of-freedom simulation has been constructed for each of four candidate tactical weapons for use in a program to develop/evaluate new techniques for emitter homirng. The vehicle types include a powered missile, a projectile, a minidrone, and a glide bomb. The roll degree-of-freedom was eliminated from the simulation on the basis that each vehicle is stabilized in roll with low roll rates. The report provides detailed descriptions of the simulations including the aerodynamic and autopilot models, along with the numerical procedures used. Typical responses of the closed loop homing performance are given for each vehicle. For rc.A&
