Baseline Design Benefits and Guidelines

Benefits of Baseline Design
Allows simple, conceptual design methods to be used with good
accuracy
Well documented benchmark / configuration control / traceability
between cause and effect
Balanced subsystems
Gives fast startup / default values for design effort
Provides sensitivity trends for changing design
Baselines can cover reasonable range of starting points
Baselines can normally be extrapolated to 50% with good accuracy
Guidelines
Dont get locked-in by baseline
Be creative
Project state-of-the-art ( SOTA ) if baseline has obsolete subsystems
Sensors and electronics almost always need to be updated

Missile Diameter Tradeoff

Drivers toward Small Diameter
Decrease drag
Launch platform diameter constraint
Drivers toward Large Diameter

Increase seeker range and signal-to-noise, better resolution and tracking
Increase blast frag and shaped charge warhead effectiveness ( larger diameter
higher velocity fragments or higher velocity jet )
Increase body bending frequency
Subsystem diameter packaging
Launch platform length constraint
Typical Range in Body Fineness Ratio 5 < l / d < 25

Man-portable anti-armor missiles are low l / d ( Javelin l / d = 8.5 )
Surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles are high l / d ( AIM-120 l / d = 20.5 )

Compute (CD0 )Wave,SharpNose for sharp nose, based on the body reference area

3.
Compute ( CD0 )Wave,Hemi of the hemispherical nose tip ( lNoseTip / dNoseTip = 0.5 ), based on the
nose tip area
( CD0 )Wave,Hemi = ( 1.59 + 1.83 / M2 ) {[ tan-1 ( 0.5 / ( 0.5 )]}1.69 = 0.665 ( 1.59 + 1.83 / M2 )
4.
Finally, compute ( CD0 )Wave,BluntNose of the blunt nose, based on the body reference area
( CD0 )Wave,BluntNose = ( CD0 )Wave,SharpNose ( SRef - SNoseTip ) / SRef + ( CD0 )Wave,Hemi SNoseTipi / SRef
Example Rocket Baseline ( dRef = 8 in ) with 10% Nose Tip Bluntness at Mach 2

Excess Fuel from Gas Generator

observables
Carbon based ( e.g., C, HTPB ) Lower observables, higher reliability,
lower ISP
Choice of Oxidizer

MIL STDs include environmental ( HDBK-310, NATO STANAG 4370, 810F, 1670A ), strength and rigidity ( 8856 ), and captive
carriage ( 8591 ).
The entire environment ( e.g., manufacturing, transportation, storage, ground handling, captive carriage, launch separation,
post-launch maneuvering, terminal maneuvering ) must be examined for driving conditions in structure design.
FOS for castings is expected to be reduced in future as casting technology matures.
Reduction in required factor of safety is expected as analysis accuracy improves will result in reduced missile weight / cost.

Example of TMD Spreadsheet Sizing Code

Verification: Air-to-Air Range Requirement
Example Launch Conditions
hL = 20k ft
ML = 0.8
Example Requirement
RF = 6.7 nm with tf < 24.4 s
Solutions for Rocket Baseline

ADAM: RF = 6.7 nm at tf = 18 s
TMD Spreadsheet: RF = 6.7 nm at tf = 19 s
3 DOF using wind tunnel aero data: RF = 6.7 nm at tf = 21 s
Differences in Flight Time to 6.7 nm Mostly Due to Zero-Lift Drag Coefficient.

For Example:
ADAM prediction at Mach 2.0: ( CD0 )coast = 0.53
TMD Spreadsheet prediction at Mach 2.0: ( CD0 )coast = 0.57

For baseline soda straw configuration
xCG = 3.39 in, d = 0.28 in, ( CN )B = 2 per rad, ST = 0.25 in2, SRef = 0.0616 in2
( xAC )B = [( xAC )B / lN ] lN = 0.63 ( 0.14 ) = 0.09 in
