Generalized model of hybrid three-module launcher allowing for different configurations – general simulation studies

The paper presents the generalized model and simulation program for a hybrid three-module launcher including a pneumatic module, a coilgun module and a railgun module. The analyzed modules constituting the hybrid launcher can be arranged in different order. The elaborated program enables us to analyze and to compare the different chosen configurations of the launcher. Results of simulations show that the final (output) missile velocity depends on sequence of modules.
