Study on the operational effectiveness of high parabola trajectory of air-to-air missile

In order to extend the firing range of air-to-air missile,high parabola trajectory is designed to make missile ascend quickly and cruise at the optimal height by singular perturbation guidance law.Four target maneuvering models are built.Through trajectory simulation and contrast between singular perturbation guidance law and trajectory shaping optimization guidance law,the farthest initial striking distances of the two missile guidance modes are obtained from different initial height,as well as the effect of initial height on the performance of high parabola trajectory is analyzed.The result of simulation shows the striking distance of air-to-air missile is extended effectively by the high parabola trajectory designed,and the fighting efficiency of missile is enhanced.
