Common-frame launched weapons must be coordinated in airspace and time for ensuring safety of ship and weapons. This paper researches with emphasis on the problem of time coordination. Firstly, the process of commonframe launch is analyzed and a common model of launch sequence of weapons is advanced. Secondly, factors considered for time coordination are studied including launch rate, influence on adjacent cells, influence of initial trajectory intersection and launch priority. Lastly, model of launch time spacing and model of launch priority are advanced, which make up of models of time coordination. The results show that models of time coordination answer the question that when is appropriate to launch missile or deliver authorization for the issuance of ignition commands to missile for avoiding the time collision between missiles launched simultaneously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
