Modelling and Simulation Flight Dynamic Terminal Air Defense Missile

Abstract

This paper is an academic study that discusses how to design air defense missile modelling and simulation, as a missile development strategy for the Indonesian National Army. Flight dynamics modelling and simulation is a way to determine the reliability of the Missile system in which there are aerodynamics, guidance systems and control systems that are integrated with each other, in order to produce a precise and accurate missile to the target. The success of developing a rocket that has reached the level 7 technology readiness level (Protoype Tested), can be a start to seriously initiate the development of Indonesian Missiles. The initial design process was based on the specifications of the 122 mm calibre defense rocket, the length of 2810 mm, the weight of the 60.8 kg rocket and the 15 kg warhead with an overall range of 30.5 km that would be adjusted to the initial configuration of the air defense missile. Modelling and flight dynamics testing will be conducted on Matlab software which is focused on the Matlab Simulink section. This development strategy can optimize the rocket products that have been successfully developed by Indonesia, because the sustainability of the rocket mastery will be very useful to be used as a basis for missile development, specifically in terminal air defense missiles, which is the weak point of Indonesia's air defense today.
