Mathematical Modeling as a Tool for Planning the Process of Field Testing of Serial Samples of Anti-Aircraft Guided Missiles
This article describes an example of using mathematical modeling when planning full-scale tests of serial samples of surface-to-air missiles (SAM) in order to reduce the material and time costs associated with the organization and conduct of tests. In particular, with the help of the scientific approaches to generating test predictions through modeling the reliability of the model “SAM block - test firing stage” conclusions about the possibilities of predicting the results of the test firing based on the result of previous tests were drawn; the possibility of using mathematical models of the testing process in conjunction with the field work was verified. Based on the findings, recommendations are given for the practical application of the described mathematical model in the mass production of missiles.
