Missiles are target oriented weapons with various
guiding systems (Image sensors, thermal sensors, radar, inertial sensors, GPS,
etc.) operating in the atmosphere, and the main purpose is to carry ammunition
and strike static or moving enemy positions by the way of explosion of a
warhead. Missiles were used for long distances in the past. Today, short,
medium and long-range missiles are available. Missile systems are increasingly
preferred because they can reach the target in a timely, faster, and accurately
with the development of technology. In this paper, a review of aerodynamic shape
optimization is proposed for a missile. The main aim of this article is to
research and consider aerodynamic shape optimization methods that are
especially used for missile aerodynamics. For this purpose, previous studies
are examined to determine optimization methods that are obtained optimum geometry
in terms of aerodynamic coefficients and flight performance for a missile. In
this conference article, firstly, definition and aerodynamic shape optimization
methods are given. The previous studies are then mentioned and classified.
Lastly, the results of research of the missile aerodynamics are briefly
explained for the future works.
