Method for calculating wind compensation for unguided missiles which minimizes this effect on trajectory is derived which has greater degree of flexibility than previous methods; limitations are eliminated by using 3-dimensional trajectory simulation with arbitrary wind and nonlinear aerodynamic coefficients; technique is demonstrated by using Shotput vehicle as model.
