A modular ducted rocket missile model for threat and performance assessment
conference paper
A model was developed to predict the thrust of throttled ramjet propelled missiles. The model is called DRCORE and fulfils the growing need to predict the performance of air breathing missiles. Each subsystem of the propulsion unit of this model is coded by using engineering formulae and enables the prediction of the thrust of air breathing missiles during on- and off-design operation. DRCORE is able to use experimental data or results from external studies (for example CFD) as input. During several threat analyses, the capabilities of the DRCORE model have been proven to be crucial for accurate performance prediction of air breathing supersonic weapon systems. DRCORE was developed in an international collaboration between TNO (The Netherlands) and Defence R&D Canada.
