Investigation of the Notable Maneuvers of a Low-speed Air Platform to Get Away from Surface-to-Air Threats

Abstract

The most reasonable attitude in order for low-speed aerial platforms including helicopters and unmanned air vehicles which do not involve any counter measure system to survive is to get away with a convenient maneuver when they are subjected to man-portable surface-to-air rockets and missiles. The mentioned approach may become challenging for low-speed platforms. In this study, the effectiveness of notable escape maneuvers is investigated using relevant computer simulations for a low-speed aerial platform. This way, it is shown that the aerial platforms can escape from surface-to-air threats under the circumstance of lack of any counter measure opportunity.
