Research abstract
The proposed effort under this SBIR Second Phase II will be focused on advancing the capability to model missile plume re-entry vehicles, other high-speed vehicles and wakes for application to Electro-Optic (EO)/Infrared (IR)/Ultraviolet (UV)/ Visual (Vis)/ Radio Frequency (RF)/ and Radar Cross Section (RCS) signature predictions. To accomplish these goals, two tools existing at CRAFT Tech, RPFM3D and RVFM3D, will be advanced beyond existing capabilities, and comparisons will be made to flight data for verification of upgrades and physical model upgrades will be made. Production level upgrades will include improvements to automation across entire trajectories, grid generation procedures, including overset grid movement for transient problems, error checking, speed enhancements, and simulation efficiency.
