Missile Flight Tool (MFT)

Overview

Missile Flight Tool (MFT) is a high fidelity, missile flight and trajectory generation simulation built to calculate the performance of ballistic missiles of all types, from tactical short range missiles to ICBMs.

Applications

Missile Defense Analysis: Analyze missile threats and vulnerabilities. Create range contours and inverse range contours and show maps of contours in Analytical Graphics, Inc.'s Satellite Tool Kit® (STK®) software. Missile launch locations can be groups of fixed points, lines, or regions. MFT shows maximum range contours of the area that can be hit, or the area in which a missile could be based to hit a defined target region. Show the range contours on a globe or map using STK VO® software, or export shape files to Environmental System Research Institute Inc.'s ArcView®.

Integration with Analytical Graphics' STK® Software: Compute accurate trajectories and visualize them in STK® software. Create 3-D visuals including stills and movies of defense scenarios.

Features

• High-fidelity missile trajectory generation. MFT has detailed gravity, atmosphere, flight guidance and control, boost, and deployment maneuver models.
• Analysis of all phases of missile flight, including boost, staging, post-boost vehicle and RV deployment, and re-entry.
• Database of over 30 pre-defined strategic and theater missiles.
• Draws range contours, inverse range contours.
• Simulates missiles created with Missile Design Tool.

Benefits

• Leverages all STK® software and STK/PRO® software functionality: performs coverage and visibility analyses to other STK® objects such as satellites, other missiles in flight, aircraft, facilities, or ground vehicles. Creates plots, animations, still images, reports. Shows the missile flight in relation to other entities.
• Highly accurate and validated by nearly 20 years of continuous use.
• Can be used in unclassified and classified environments.
