MIL-HDBK-1211, MILITARY HANDBOOK: MISSILE FLIGHT SIMULATION, (PART ONE), SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILES (17 JUL 1995)., This military handbook provides guidance for the preparation of these mathematical models to simulate the flight of a surface-to-air missile. Surface-to-air missiles are designed to defend a land are-a against an aerial threat. The size of the defended area and the capabilities of the threat have great influence on the speed, maneuverability, and lethality requirements of the missile system. Simulation of the missile flight path can provide valuable information about these requirements. A missile flight simulation is a computational tool that calculates the flight of a missile from launch until it engages the target. The simulation is based on mathematical models of the missile, target and environment.
