Study and design of target tracking and antimissile launching by amplitude comparison monopulse radar tracking using MATLAB

Abstract

The purpose of air defense guided missile systems is to reduce or minimize the attacks by detecting and destroying enemy aircraft or missiles approaching a important area. These systems must be capable of defending strategic areas against attack from high altitude, high speed enemy aircraft by performing precision bombing on the aircraft and on the missiles launched by the aircraft. So to destroy the targets, the system must be capable of predicting the trajectory of the targets before and after the missile launch. Our study aims to study the amplitude monopulse radar system and designing a missile launching system which is able to calculate the predicted trajectory of the target based on the amplitude monopulse radar system using MATLAB. This missile launching system also calculates the trajectory of the missile used for destroying the target. The speed, azimuth and elevation angle for launching the missile is also calculated. This missile launching system is designed for stationary and moving objects having uniform speed or acceleration.
