Missile Design Tool (MDT)

Overview

With Missile Design Tool, you can design missiles for simulation in Missile Flight Tool (MFT) or edit MFT missiles to suit your application. MDT's intuitive user interface permits full control over vehicle configuration.

Applications

MFT is bundled with a database of pre-defined missiles, but some applications call for a highly customized missile representation to get refined results. MDT permits much more accurate missile defense and threat evaluation than MFT, by allowing much greater tailoring of the modeled missile . Users can create "what-if" scenarios, building and modifying missile designs to accommodate emerging information. MDT's quick performance calculator permits nearly instant evaluation of vehicle performance. Users can cut and copy stages between vehicles, save individual stages or Re-entry Vehicles (RV). Draw upon the rich database of MFT missiles.

Features

• Full control of the missile, including stage configuration, guidance, Post Boost Vehicles, RVs, and other deployed objects.
• Edit propellant mass, structural mass, propellant flow, thrust, specific impulse, and burn duration.
• 3D CAD model of missile shown at all times.
• Instant performance plots.
• Mass fraction and dimensional diagrams
• User-defined catalog of saved configurations.
• Advanced wizard provides guidance for missile construction, while allowing access to all missile properties.
• Aerodynamic drag calculator.
• Object deployment and guidance mode editors.

Benefits

• Gives you exactly the missile design you want. MDT is the fast way to create and edit missile designs.
• Fully compatible with MFT. Imports and exports .mis files.
• A fast method of evaluating gross performance, which simplifies the process of matching a missile design to known, observed, or projected performance.
