Parametric Studies of an Un-Guided Rocket Using Simple Point-Mass Trajectory Simulation Model

In the current study, point-mass trajectory simulation model (PM-TSM) has been developed using MATLAB. Parametric studies of an un-guided rocket at user given parameters and launch conditions were performed as a part of system studies for an un-guided rocket. While conducting parametric studies, a total of 39 cases were studied for GRAD, artillery rocket with varying launch conditions. It is found that GRAD performed better than S-13 T un-guided aerial launched rocket system at 1000 and 2000-m launch altitude with launch angle of 10 and 0 degrees, respectively. The range achieved by GRAD was more than 4000 m, which is considered as the maximum range of S-13 T rockets.
