Research on Simulation and Optimization of Pulse Controlled Multiple Launch Rocket System

Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) has been widely used all around the world due to the advantages such as high firing speed, large firing area, long firing range, good mobility and heavy firepower density weaved in a short period time. The Pulse Controlled Multiple Launch Rocket System (PCMLRS) is able to suppress the vibration during launching process by applying the pulse thrusters, which helps improve its dispersion characteristics. In this paper, the system composition of PCMLRS is introduced and the simulation system of PCMLRS is built using the Multibody System Transfer Matrix Method, based on which the pulse control parameters are optimized. The simulation results show that the firing dispersion of PCMLRS is improved, which indicates good engineering application prospects.
