The aerodynamic information needed for preliminary design of tactical missiles was always obtained through the combined use of theory and experiments. In regard to the static aerodynamics this has resulted in a prediction capability that often is satisfactory for preliminary design. However, the vehicle dynamics cannot be predicted with the same confidence, especially not at the high angles of attack where high performance missiles often must operate. In this case dependence is still upon continuous efficient interactions between theoretical and experimental methods. The limitations of both methods are delineated and the means of how to circumvent them in order to predict tactical missile dynamics over the required range of operational parameters are described.
