Research on the mission critical parameters identification by using kinematic boundaries

Finalization of missile system requirement specifications in design phase is critical in order to achieve user's expectations and to avoid unexpected outcomes. This is guaranteed through well defined performance evaluation criteria. A methodology is devised to finalize and evaluate missile sub-systems characteristics with emphasis on its ability to meet mission specific goals. Missile system evaluation is achieved through computing kinematic boundaries against highly agile targets. Kinematic boundaries includes minimum and maximum launch points. These launch points are the sequel of 3-DoF missile and target engagement simulations. In order to reduce computation time, coarse and fine search has also been introduced. Mission critical sub-systems are identified through relative frequency analysis. Once requirements are finalized, technical challenges associated with respective sub-systems are eliminated by suggesting efficient missile launch strategies.
