Impacts of Deflection Nose on Ballistic Trajectory Control Law

Abstract EN

The deflection of projectile nose is aimed at changing the motion of the projectile in flight with the theory of motion control and changing the exterior ballistics so as to change its range and increase its accuracy.

The law of external ballistics with the deflectable nose is considered as the basis of the design of a flight control system and an important part in the process of projectile development.

Based on the existing rigid external ballistic model, this paper establishes an external ballistic calculation model for deflectable nose projectile and further establishes the solving programs accordingly.

Different angle of attack, velocity, coefficients of lift, resistance, and moment under the deflection can be obtained in this paper based on the previous experiments and emulation researches.

In the end, the author pointed out the laws on the impaction of external ballistic trajectory by the deflection of nose of the missile.
