Abstract

In the design of a missile, the rocket engine, aerodynamics, structural warhead, fuse, launcher and control unit are important with the guidance system. Four different missiles named as Atgm_1, Low Drag_8, Patriot_TR, and New Missile are designed. The structure and working principle of the missiles are analized. The designed missiles were simulated at a platform with shooter and target values determined by the Rocket Simulator Program. Speed, distance, altitude, mach number and maneuverability number which are important criteria during the cruise, test flight or when the missiles take action to hit the target were evaluated by test flights in the simulation.
