A six degree-of-freedom simulation modeling an SDI space-based kinetic energy weapon is examined to analyze the models which represent the interceptor component initialization scheme. The initialization scheme consists of the first downlink of target information from the radar platform to the launch platform, the handing down of launch platform initial parameters to the interceptor, the predicted impact point algorithm and launcher training, and the interceptor on-board Kalman filter and target predictor start-up procedure. These conceptual models are defined and associated error sources are applied. The impact of the initialization errors on the kinetic energy weapon system performance, as dictated by six degree-of-freedom simulation test runs, is discussed.
