A Trajectory Simulation Model of the Short-Range Anti-ship Missile Based on Considering Curvature of the Earth

Abstract

This paper analyzes how to set up a trajectory simulation of the short-range anti-ship missile, considering curvature of the earth. According to the system working mechanism of some missile and curvature of the earth, a motion simulation model of the whole trajectory is built. A lot of shooting simulation tests are conducted, and the results show that various ranges have different influences on acquisition probability, homing probability and hitting probability of the missile. The validity of this method is verified by the tests.
