Abstract
The paper deals with a concept of a missile vertical launch system using reaction control jets. The purpose of the study was a detailed investigation of a method optimizing fuel consumption in the first phase of the missile flight to increase the range and optimize the flight path. In the designed system the missile is ejected vertically and turned to the desired position by using corrective engines before the sustainer motor is started. The dynamics and controllability of the missile at low velocities were studied. The physical and mathematical model of the object has been described, taking into account the nonlinearities connected with the dynamics of the rocket itself, the disturbances caused by firing the rocket engine as well as some effects the unsteady aerodynamics. A method identifying the aerodynamic characteristics of the missile and an algorithm controlling the correction engines is presented. A prepared mathematical model of the missile was used to create a simulating environment. The results of numerical simulations in the form of graphs and tables are presented.
