Compared to conventional numerical simulations and wind tunnel evaluations, the aerodynamic assessment method to be proposed for damaged cruise missiles, is going to strike a favorable balance by accepting marginally reduced precision in exchange for significantly lower equipment requirements and time expenditures, achieving a substantially improved precision-to-efficiency ratio. The proposed approach will enhance result reliability and stability by rapidly generating aerodynamic coefficient solutions. This method is expected to prove particularly valuable for guiding strike mission planning, ensuring survivability, and supporting pre-combat damage assessment in typical cruise missile engagement scenarios.
