Research abstract
A new computational approach is proposed for combining missile plume model predictions with sensor measurements in a Simultaneous Constraint Optimization for Parameter Extraction (SCOPE) that reduces the overall parameter and sensor response uncertainty.The SCOPE paradigm improves plume parameters extraction from sensor measurements in the presence of uncertainties in model input parameters and noisy measurements. The technique uses an enhanced suite of codes for rocket engine combustion, exhaust plumeflow field, plume radiation, and atmospheric propagation. The enhancement is Automatic Differentiation (AD) of the original codes such that parameter sensitivities are output in addition to the standard output. SCOPE is a technique that extracts themodel parameters and sensor measurements within their respective uncertainty bounds to produce the
