PRODAS Interface with NSWC AP Methodology and
AFRL/ARMDEC Missile DATCOM aeroprediction
capabilities
PRODAS V 3.0 model editor generates physical
model for input into NSWC and AFRL/ARMDEC
aeroprediction methodologies
Derived Aerodynamics imported into PRODAS aero
database and passed through to Stability Evaluation,
Trajectory, Controlled Trajectory and Guidance and
Control along with plotting routines.
Standard input/output properties for each code
preserved within PRODAS windows interface
