AN INTRODUCTION TO LAUNCH ACCEPTABILITY REGIONS
Abstract
This report is intended to be a general orientation in the subject of air-to-air missile Launch Acceptability Region (LAR) diagrams. To this end a qualitative and quantative description of the various weapon system performance characteristics pertinent to the determination of LAR diagrams is presented. Each of the characteristics are treated separately with a discussion including the general nature of the characteristic, LAR regions where it can be expected to apply and where possible, equations describing its influence on LAR diagrams. Where examples of LAR diagrams and system performance characteristics have been presented they have been made as specific as possible without requiring security classification. The LAR characteristics and limiting factors discussed in this report, may be determined with a three-dimensional, five-degree of freedom, non- linear trim aerodynamic digital computer simulation.
