Missile and Rocket Simulations in C++

Take your missile or rocket to your virtual test range, which is your computer. Before you do, take my course and learn all about how to model missiles and rockets at fidelity that approach the real world with its six-degrees-of-freedom and uncertainties. Start with my C++ simulations and modify them for your concepts. (Please note, this is and advanced course, teaching the inner workings of high fidelity missile and rocket simulations, assuming prior knowledge of missile and rocket flight dynamics and control.)I provide you with four prototypes: air-to-ground missile, air-to-air missile, surface-to-air-missile, and surface-to-space rocket. You should come prepared with a solid foundation in aerodynamics, guidance and control, and C++ programming. Then study my 17 lectures and do the 24 exercises, using my four C++ simulations.The air-to-ground missile with its IR seeker is either locked on the target before launch or is given target coordinates after launch by the aircraft via data link for midcourse guidance. The target can move and maneuver on the ground. The missile’s aerodynamics are modeled in aeroballistic axes, and its autopilot consists of roll-, rate- and acceleration controllers. Proportional guidance, driven by the IR seeker, is used to home into the target. You will explore its performance with my AGM6 simulation, plot trajectories and create performance footprints.With the air-to-air missile you protect the launch aircraft against an incoming missile. Here you study how missiles and aircraft are modeled with different fidelities. The self-protection missile is modeled in 6 DoF, the attacking missile in 5 DoF, and the aircraft in 3 DoF. Aerodynamics and autopilots are structured accordingly. Full 6 DoF aerodynamics in body axes for the self-protection missiles with full-up autopilot, IR seeker, and compensated pro-nav. The 5 DoF attacking missile is provided with trimmed aerody
