Abstract

Separating a reentry vehicle into warhead and body is a conventional and efficient means of producing a huge decoy and increasing the kinetic energy of the warhead. This procedure causes the radar to track the body, whose radar cross section is larger, and ignore the warhead which is the most important part of the reentry vehicle. The aerodynamic Coefficients models play an essential part in the simulation and the analysis of the supersonic and hypersonic of the ballistic missiles, especially in the dynamic trajectory planning. This paper builds the aerodynamic coefficients models by the nonlinear least square method based on the separable warhead re-entry vehicle using lebedev aerodynamic calculations. The lift and drag coefficients models can be expressed with the polynomial and the exponential function. So the models fit the aero characteristic well and can be used in practical design and simulation as a reference.
