Abstract
A parameter identification technique of extracting nondimensional stability derivatives for the AGARD standard ballistic correlation model HB-2 from supersonic free-flight data is investigated. Based on the Maximum Likelihood criterion, the identification technique used is a modified Newton-Raphson quasi-linearization minimization procedure with certain extensions for handling general nonlinear systems without involved program changes. A hybrid type formulation for the 6 degrees of freedom nonlinear equations of motion is employed wherein aerodynamic force and moment representations are in wind-axis and body-axis coordinate systems respectively. Results for both the longitudinal and lateral stability derivatives of the AGARD model demonstrate, as borne out by the excellent fit to the measured motions of a typical flight and accuracy of the parameter estimates, the suitability and power of the maximum likelihood method and functional adequacy of the mathematical model used.
