Abstract:
A model (equations of motion) has been developed which is capable of computing the six degree of freedom trajectory of a nonsymmetric missle. The forces and moments considered to be acting on the missile are described in a body of fixed coordinate system. The aerodynamic coefficients are of the angle of attack, and the aerodynamic roll angle. Two data correlation techniques have been examined for matching a theoretical trajectory, computed from the model, to the actual.
