The Effect of F-8 Aircraft Maneuvers on ATOLL (AA-2) Performance

Abstract

An analysis was made to determine the capability of the F-8 aircraft to evade the ATOLL missile by maneuver. Realistic computer simulations of both the ATOLL and the F-8 were combined with the IR characteristics of the F-8 and the atmosphere to provide the tool for analysis. The simulation results define maneuver requirements for the F-8 in the air combat maneuvering environment. It is concluded that maneuver alone is not always a sufficient countermeasure.
