| Abstract [eng] |
Rocket targets are essential for live-fire military training. RT-400 is a short-range rocket target. This rocket must be improvised for a longer range. So, two motors are used to upgrade the range of the rocket. as the dimensions of the rocket change, it is required to analyse the nose cone shape for the prediction of forces and coefficients. With obtained values, ballistic analysis is carried out to determine the theoretical maximum range and altitudes are obtained. |
