The Effect of Manufacturing Quality on Rocket Precision
The effect of manufacturing quality on rocket impact point dispersion is analyzed. The approach presented here applies to any type of rocket. Here, manufacturing quality is demonstrated for the unguided rocket, and by simulating four typical manufacturing errors: erroneously manufactured warhead, misalignment between the warhead and engine chamber, asymmetrically installed propellant, and error in nozzle manufacturing. A new methodology is proposed, which combines a 3D CAD model of the asymmetrical projectile (due to manufacturing errors) and the improved Six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) model of its flight into a comprehensive Monte-Carlo simulation. In that way, the rocket trajectory dispersion is correlated directly to the imperfection of the manufacturing process. Three quality levels are simulated (low, standard, and high quality), and each of the analyzed manufacturing errors depends on the chosen quality. The results show how important it is to impose the highest quality on nozzle manufacturing, and if this condition is not met, reveal if strict tolerances applied to other steps of the manufacturing process can compensate for the consequential drop of precision.
