Optimising the unpredictability of a ballistic missile
At MODSIM2023, the 25th International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, a Shoal team presented a paper called ‘Optimising the unpredictability of a ballistic missile’. The research was conducted by Emma Comino, John Ogilvie, Matthew King, Henry Lourey and John Wharington. The research team constructed a physics-based model of a ballistic missile. The aerodynamic model was then fed into an optimisation scheme, which facilitated a quick quantitative comparison between the time it takes the missile to reach its target and the sacrifice it may make to obscure its true target. The model hence provides a proof of concept framework for exploring trade-offs between missile performance and missile evasion behaviours.
