Kinetic energy interceptor (KEI) is mainly used to intercept medium-range and intercontinental ballistic missiles flying in the boost phase, ascent phase and midcourse, with the characteristics of high speed and high acceleration. Based on the research and analysis of literature and modeling simulation, this paper conducts reverse design and research on KEI missile's overall parameters, aerodynamic parameters and dynamic parameters, and simulates KEI missile's flight performance and interception performance. The results show that KEI missile can accelerate to 6 km/s in about 60 s. It also has the ability to intercept ballistic missiles in the boost phase/ascent phase for typical targets, and has reference significance for the development and research of domestic interceptor weapons.
