MissileLab: An Expert System for Rapid Aerodynamic Trade Studies

Abstract

An expert system for aerodynamic tradespace analysis has been developed and is being used by several government agencies and industry. Expert systems, like MissileLab, are needed in all areas of the missile/UAV designspace technology areas and will enable the Army to meet transformation goals of a lighter, rapidly deployable force with increased lethality and survivability, in a cost-effective and timely manner. This paper presents an overview of the functionality and capabilities of MissileLab and briefly discusses enhancements being made by a joint Army/Air Force team on the legacy aerodynamic prediction tool Missile DATCOM.
