Abstract

To address the issue of poor impact accuracy in elevated firing operations of helicopter-mounted aerial rockets, an improved method for elevated firing has been proposed through analyzing the combat mechanisms involved. A simulation model for the ballistic trajectory and the damage effectiveness has been established based on the publicly available parameters of a certain armed helicopter and its aerial rockets from abroad. Typical conditions of elevated and level flight firings are selected for comparative analysis of range, dispersion, and damage effectiveness. The simulation results indicate that the improved aerial rockets, when fired in an elevated position, can achieve an attack distance of up to 9 km, while also exhibiting a trend of reduced longitudinal dispersion. The effective damage area of the rocket salvo is 3 times that under level flight conditions. The improved elevated firing method and the suggestions for the fire control and the aiming stabilization optimization mentioned in this paper have certain guiding significance for the application of helicopter elevated firing operations.

Key words： aerial rocket; elevated firing operation; range; longitudinal dispersion; damage efficiency
