Synthesis of a Plume Simulator for the MX Missile.

Abstract

A simulator for the exhaust plume of an MX missile is synthesized for use in the in-flight EMP hardness assessment of the missile in an EMP simulator. The synthesis is based on a set of results obtained in a numerical analysis of the interaction between the missile plume and an EMP which uses the Titan-III missile plume data scaled to the MX missile dimensions. It is found that, for this case, the plume simulator can be made entirely out of passive lumped LRC elements. (Author)
