Abstract

This paper presents a tutorial analysis of a hybrid computer model of a missile reentering the atmosphere. An important aspect of the paper is that an example of how to go about analyzing the suitability of a hybrid computer configuration for a particular large- scale simulation is presented from an overall systems point of view. Equations describing a missile (six- degrees of freedom) reentering the atmosphere are given, as is a hybrid computer configuration for solving them. This configuration is then analyzed to establish its suitability for simulation.
