A Trajectory Prediction Method of Ship-to-air Missiles for Dynamic Firepower Compatibility

For the question of warship's air-defence firepower compatibility, a trajectory prediction method of ship-to-air missiles for dynamic firepower compatibility is put forward. Ship-to-air missiles’ ideal trajectories are simulated based on targets’ typical flight paths and missiles’ guidance law, and missile's ideal position coordinates expression of time is obtained at the same time. Then trajectory distribution error sources which affect missiles’ position coordinates are analysed. This method can predict trajectory efficiently before ship-to-air missiles’ launch and help to avoid firepower interaction during warships’ air-defence.
