Theater High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) System

Anti-ballistic missile for short and intermediate range ballistic missiles. Developed the algorithms to simulate attacking ballistic missiles and defending interceptor missiles including: simulation of the boost, free-flight, and re-entry phases of flight; fourth-order integration to account for the physical forces; numerical search for optimum missile launch parameters; and curve fitting to provide runtime calculation flight positional data. Also designed the initial system object-oriented model for THAAD operator training and specified the radar modeling algorithms.
