“…Most of the previous research in projectile optimization focused on a singular optimum shape rather than one that changes shape throughout flight. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Notable previous work on projectile optimization includes Refs. 4, 6, 8, where trajectory simulations were integrated into their optimization studies giving them the ability to optimize trajectory characteristics, such as maximizing range.…”

The use of pattern search and gradient-based optimization methods to determine optimal geometries of morphing guided unpowered projectiles are examined. An investigation of continuously varying geometries vs. discrete-point morphing concepts is performed. A detailed aerodynamic analysis, applicable to a wide flight envelope, is coupled with a trajectory simulation program for use within the optimization schemes. Optimal projectile geometries that give maximum range subject to the constraints of static stability and trimmed conditions were then determined. Deployment of a single optimum geometry set of wings and canards at apogee provided a 98.6% increase in range over the baseline projectile configuration. Dual geometry and continuous morphing schemes increased the range over the baseline geometry by an additional 3.4% and 12.1% respectively. The trade off between range and morphing complexity showed that deployment of a single optimized geometry was the most beneficial for guided unpowered 155mm projectiles.

“…The use of computer simulations as part of the design process is becoming increasingly common in complex and multi-disciplinary engineering products. For missile design, multi-point geometry optimisation ((Anderson et al (2000)) and trajectory and geometry optimisation (Tekinalp and Bingol (2004) and Yang et al (2012)) have been reported in the literature. These previous studies utilised low fidelity semi-empirical aerodynamic models such as Missile DATCOM (Vukelich et al (1988)) rather than modern computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to generate the aerodynamic data.…”

“…Efficient global optimization methods are important for solving complex design problems. Algorithms such as particle swarm optimization [1,2], genetic algorithm [3,4], and simulated annealing [5,6] have been applied to solve multidisciplinary design optimization problems. In this paper, a new global optimization scheme is developed based on an emerging quantum computation paradigm.…”

One of the significant breakthroughs in quantum computation is Grover’s algorithm for unsorted database search. Recently, the applications of Grover’s algorithm to solve global optimization problems have been demonstrated, where unknown optimum solutions are found by iteratively improving the threshold value for the selective phase shift operator in Grover rotation. In this paper, a hybrid approach that combines continuous-time quantum walks with Grover search is proposed. By taking advantage of quantum tunneling effect, local barriers are overcome and better threshold values can be found at the early stage of search process. The new algorithm based on the formalism is demonstrated with benchmark examples of global optimization. The results between the new algorithm and the Grover search method are also compared.
