An Ada Object Oriented Missile Flight Simulation

Abstract

This thesis uses the Ada programming language in the design and development of an air-to-air missile flight simulation with object oriented techniques and sound software engineering principles. The simulation is designed to be more understandable, modifiable, efficient and reliable than earlier FORTRAN simulations. The principles of abstraction, information hiding, modularity, high cohesion and low coupling are used to achieve these goals. the resulting simulation is an accurate mapping of the problem space into software. The simulation is a three Degree-of-Freedom (3-DOF) model of RF-IR guided air-to-air missile. Two targets are also modeled. The simulation is primarily intended to study missile kinematics.
