3-D MOTION FOR AN AIRCRAFT SIMULATING AN ICBM,

Abstract

Three dimensional differential equations of motion for a ballistic body are formed which include the effects of coriolis and re-entry drag. Expressions for the initial conditions of the 3-D equations in terms of a 2-D model are derived. The angular position and angular rates of the ICBM with respect to the tracking radar determine the aircraft position and velocity required to simulate the ICBM. (Author)
