Description

Interface for a missile object.

Public Methods

IsAttitudeTypeSupported	Gets a value indicating whether the specified type can be used.
IsTrajectoryTypeSupported	Gets a value indicating whether the specified type can be used.
SetAttitudeType	Set the type of attitude profile used by the missile.
SetTrajectoryType	Set the propagator type.

Public Properties

AccessConstraints	Get the constraints imposed on the missile.

Example

Define missile trajectory

[C#]

// Set missile trajectory type
missile.SetTrajectoryType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorBallistic);

// Retrieve the Propagator interface
IAgVePropagatorBallistic trajectory = missile.Trajectory as IAgVePropagatorBallistic;

// Set propagator settings if they should be other than defaults
trajectory.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval("1 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000", "2 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000");
trajectory.Step = 60.0;

// Set flight parameters
trajectory.SetLaunchType(AgEVeLaunch.eLaunchLLA);
IAgVeLaunchLLA launch = trajectory.Launch as IAgVeLaunchLLA;
launch.Lat = 0.0;
launch.Lon = 0.0;
launch.Alt = 0.0;

// Set impact location type
trajectory.SetImpactLocationType(AgEVeImpactLocation.eImpactLocationPoint);

// Retrieve the impact point interface
IAgVeImpactLocationPoint impactLocation = trajectory.ImpactLocation as IAgVeImpactLocationPoint;
impactLocation.SetLaunchControlType(AgEVeLaunchControl.eLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight);

// Retrieve the launch flight interface
IAgVeLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight launchControl = impactLocation.LaunchControl as IAgVeLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight;
launchControl.TimeOfFlight = 9000.0;

// Configure missile Impact parameters
impactLocation.SetImpactType(AgEVeImpact.eImpactLLA);
IAgVeImpactLLA impact = impactLocation.Impact as IAgVeImpactLLA;
impact.Lat = -20.0;
impact.Lon = -20.0;
impact.Alt = 0.0;

// Propagate Missile
trajectory.Propagate();

Define missile trajectory

[Visual Basic .NET]

' Set missile trajectory type
missile.SetTrajectoryType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorBallistic)

' Retrieve the Propagator interface
Dim trajectory As IAgVePropagatorBallistic = TryCast(missile.Trajectory, IAgVePropagatorBallistic)

' Set propagator settings if they should be other than defaults
trajectory.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval("1 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000", "2 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000")
trajectory.[Step] = 60

' Set flight parameters
trajectory.SetLaunchType(AgEVeLaunch.eLaunchLLA)
Dim launch As IAgVeLaunchLLA = TryCast(trajectory.Launch, IAgVeLaunchLLA)
launch.Lat = 0
launch.Lon = 0
launch.Alt = 0

' Set impact location type
trajectory.SetImpactLocationType(AgEVeImpactLocation.eImpactLocationPoint)

' Retrieve the impact point interface
Dim impactLocation As IAgVeImpactLocationPoint = TryCast(trajectory.ImpactLocation, IAgVeImpactLocationPoint)
impactLocation.SetLaunchControlType(AgEVeLaunchControl.eLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight)

' Retrieve the launch flight interface
Dim launchControl As IAgVeLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight = TryCast(impactLocation.LaunchControl, IAgVeLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight)
launchControl.TimeOfFlight = 9000

' Configure missile Impact parameters
impactLocation.SetImpactType(AgEVeImpact.eImpactLLA)
Dim impact As IAgVeImpactLLA = TryCast(impactLocation.Impact, IAgVeImpactLLA)
impact.Lat = -20
impact.Lon = -20
impact.Alt = 0

' Propagate Missile
trajectory.Propagate()

Create a New Missile (on the current scenario central body)

[Python - STK API]

# IAgScenario scenario: Scenario object
missile = scenario.Children.New(AgESTKObjectType.eMissile, 'MyMissile')
missile.SetTrajectoryType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorBallistic)
trajectory = missile.Trajectory
root.UnitPreferences.SetCurrentUnit('DateFormat', 'EpSec')
trajectory.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval(0, 0)  # stop time later computed based on propagation
trajectory.Launch.Lat = 29
trajectory.Launch.Lon = -81
trajectory.ImpactLocation.Impact.Lat = 27
trajectory.ImpactLocation.Impact.Lon = -43
trajectory.ImpactLocation.SetLaunchControlType(AgEVeLaunchControl.eLaunchControlFixedApogeeAlt)
trajectory.ImpactLocation.LaunchControl.ApogeeAlt = 1200   # km
trajectory.Propagate()

Create a New Missile (on the current scenario central body)

[MATLAB]

% IAgScenario scenario: Scenario object
missile = scenario.Children.New('eMissile', 'MyMissile');
missile.SetTrajectoryType('ePropagatorBallistic');

root.UnitPreferences.Item('DateFormat').SetCurrentUnit('EpSec');
trajectory.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval(0, 0) % stop time later computed based on propagation
trajectory.Launch.Lat = 29;
