    For missile ejecting power system with multi-gas generators, the normal way of solving the interior ballistic equations is assuming the design parameters, the number of generators and the ignition time of gas generators by experience, in order to make the interior ballistic parameters, such as the detached velocity, meet the index requirements. Once the setup of the gas generator parameters is unsuitable, the optimization solution is easily failed. A calculation method is proposed based on the interior ballistic target, such as missile detached velocity. The number, output flux and ignition time of multi-gas generators are calculated step by step. Finally the suitable propellant charge parameters and structure parameters of multi-gas generators are gained. The solution method was realized by programming using Matlab. The interior ballistic simulation for missile launching using different units of multi-gas generators was carried out. The parameters of multi-gas generators computed by this method can be used as the input of the later optimization of interior ballistic solution. The research can greatly support the initial interior ballistic design of missile launching power system.

    In the TDOA target generation system, microwave photon links are used to transmit multi-channel and multi-band target simulation signals containing accurate TDOA information. To ensure the accuracy of TDOA information is enough, it is necessary to accurately measure the propagation delay of the target simulation signal through the photon link. A novel method for measuring the propagation delay of photon link is proposed in this paper, which uses a dedicated delay measurement chip based on the gate delay counting principle to achieve high-resolution and high-precision measurement. By occupying the same optical transmission channel of a single fiber through time sharing between the delay measurement signal and the target simulation signal, the measurement of the propagation delay and the transmission of the target simulation signal are achieved for a photon link, it meets the hardware requirements for accurately measuring the propagation delay of photon link mechanically. The experimental results show that this method can accurately measure the propagation delay of the TDOA target simulation signal through the photon link, with an error of less than 1ns, which is one order of magnitude higher than the TDOA measurement accuracy of the sensor, meets the measurement accuracy requirement of the system.

The covering capability and penetration probability are defined as two objective functions, with constraints including battle formation and terrain. This algorithm effectively evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of regional air defense deployments, and addresses the problem of optimizing air defense weapons placement under specific conditions. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method enhances cover capability and improves the interception effectiveness in specific air situations.
