Simulation study of a missile cold launch system
behind this work was to use a vertical cold launch system and the rapid pitch maneuver
to achieve longer missile range and better firing coverage. A set of a small pulse rocket engines
was used to obtain the desired missile attitude. The physical and mathematical models
of the missile are described. The pulse jets control algorithm is presented. The computer
program of the missile model has been developed in the Simulink environment. The missile
behavior in the low-speed flight envelope has been examined. The results of numerical simulations
in the form of the graphs are presented. It has been obtained that there exist several
benefits of the cold launch method as increased range and higher target kill probability.
