Abstract

The acoustical signatures of the following three missiles have been estimated: Two missiles with a flight speed below sound velocity, 3M60 Uran/SS-N-25 ´Switchblade´ and BGM-109 Tomahawk, and one missile with a flight speed above sound velocity, 3M80 Moskit/SS-N-22 ´Sunburn´. The numerical method follows the standard SAE ARP876 "gas turbine jet exhaust noise prediction".
