Innovative Fusion of Experiment and Analysis for Missile Design and Flight Simulation

Abstract:
The integration of experimental data and computational databases is key to supporting decisions during the development of missile systems. An innovative technique is demonstrated to increase the accuracy of databases used for comprehensive flight simulations of missiles. This technique uses multidimensional response surface technology to mutually enhance heterogeneous data sets. An important application of this technology is the use of sparse data points from limited wind tunnel tests to correct/calibrate computational databases used in flight simulations.
