FOREWORD
1 This military handbook is approved for use by all activities and agencies of the Department of the Army and is
available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
2. This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the contractor
does not have to comply.
3. Surface-to-air missiles are designed to defend a land are-a against an aerial threat. The size of the defended area
and the capabilities of the threat have great influence on the speed, maneuverability, and lethality requirements of
the missile system. Simulation of the missile flight path can provide valuable information about these
requirements. A missile flight simulation is a computational tool that calculates the flight of a missile from launch
until it engages the target. The simulation is based on mathematical models of the missile, target and
environment. This military handbook provides guidance for the preparation of these mathematical models to
simulate the flight of a surface-to-air missile.
4. Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, and deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in
improving this document should be addressed to Commander, U.S. Army Missile Command, ATTN: AMSMI-
RD-SE-TD-ST. Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5270, by using the Standardization Document Improvement
Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document, or by letter.
