Modeling and Simulation Method of Flight Trajectory for Ship-To-Air Missile Based on Vector Rotation

Abstract

Aiming at trajectory modeling for ship-to-air missile, a novel modeling method based on vector rotation is proposed, which can be used under different conditions of ship-to- air missile launching scheme. Compared with traditional Euler modeling method and quaternion modeling method, its advantage lies in simple principle and extensive practicality. The implementation method is adopted as mixed programming of C language and Matlab language, which combines both simplicity of Matlab developing environment to display 3D graph and efficiency of C language. Addition, using dynamic link library to implement trajectory calculation is easy to extend. The simulation results verify the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method.
