SUMMARY:

This study presents a methodology for the conceptual development of the first Brazilian naval version of a supersonic solid-fuel-based ramjet missile. This tactical weapon plays a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive installations and maritime communication lines within the exclusive economic zone. The research draws upon the European Cooperation for Space Standardization practices, commonly employed in space activities, as a reference for the conceptual design of the missile. To achieve the study’s objectives, novel numerical tools for assessing external and internal ballistics performance are introduced, enabling comprehensive system analysis and optimization. These computational programs utilize motion equations and internal ballistics calculations to estimate various stages of the missile’s trajectory, including ascent, cruise, and coasting. They also facilitate the design of a solid-fueled ramjet engine. Subsequently, the proposed methodology is implemented to develop two baseline conceptual versions of the supersonic missile. The first version incorporates a booster that has been tested in Brazil as its first stage, followed by a ramjet engine as the second stage. The second conceptual missile is entirely defined by a specific methodology, featuring a diameter of 600 mm and a length of 8,300 mm. This missile is designed to fly at Mach 3, at an altitude of 14,000 m, and is capable of carrying a warhead weighing 200 kg, with a range exceeding 300 km. The methodology outlined in this study offers a preliminary design for a high-performance, long-range anti-ship missile tailored for the Brazilian Navy.
