As a high-value military target, it is difficult to directly conduct damage research on real aircraft. Designing equivalent targets to replace real targets in damage tests and simulation research are important means for target vulnerability and damage. A target design method is proposed based on the damage characteristics and usage requirements of equivalent objects, with a focus on the "physical and functional" damage equivalent tecnology of aircraft components/subsystems under the threat of fragments. On this basis, a detailed design process for equivalent targets of aircraft is established by comprehensively considering the equivalence of the target's internal and external environment, as well as various factors such as processing and transportation. Then, based on the proposed method, an equivalent design target is carried out for the radar antenna cover of the early-warning-aircraft (EWA), and ground static explosion damage tests are carried out on the equivalent components. After verifying the accuracy of the simulation method with the test results, the ballistic limit velocity and corresponding critical penetration energy thresholds of diffrerent areas for the typical fragment hitting radar antenna cover are determined through impact finite element simulation, the rationality and usability of the proposed equivalent target design method is verifyed. The equivalent target design method proposed can provide support for the inspection and evaluation of the damage ability of air defense weapons and ammunition, the formulation of aircraft target damage standards, and joint combat training activitis.
In order to improve the transpiration cooling efficiency at the stagnation point of the nose cone of the near space vehicle, a wedge-shaped porous nose cone with a gradient porosity layout is proposed and the phase change transpiration cooling is experimentally and numerically investigated under different coolant injection ratio. The experimental results indicate that the gradient porosity layout can effectively improve the cooling efficiency at the stagnation point and the overall temperature uniformity of the porous surface. When the coolant injection ratio $M$ is 0.125%, the cooling efficiency at the stagnation point is increased by 52.4%, and the overall cooling efficiency is increased by 31.7%. The numerical results indicate that the gradient porosity layout increases the coolant mass flux at the leading edge and optimizes coolant distribution by moving the maximum pressure value at the stagnation point downstream. When the coolant injection ratio $M ={0.15}\%$, the coolant mass flux at the stagnation point is increased 76%. In addition, the film formed by the coolant flows out of the porous structure is more uniform.
In order to study the ability of laser-guided weapons to capture targets in various environments such as sea and land, mathematical models such as flight trajectory, backscatter and target diffuse reflection of laser-guided weapons are established, and whether the guided weapons could capture targets normally are judged by comparing the field of view, backscatter power density and target diffuse reflection power density of laser-guided weapons. Simulation calculations show that under the same conditions, the same laser weapon captures the target later at sea than in the land and other environments, the capture distance is closer, and the backscattering is more serious. Under normal circumstances, the backscattering effect of laser-guided weapons is more serious in the initial 4.4s time period of this projection, and the backscattering effect can be avoided by reducing the outlet energy of the laser irradiator or increasing the distance between the central axis of the laser-guided weapon and the optical path of the laser irradiator to more than 250m.

Interstage thermal separation is one of the core technologies in the flight process of solid rocket.
