This paper describes an analysis and a choice of an optimal sequence of events that take part during the launching and initial flight of an anti-tank guided missile which a gunner can fire either from his shoulder or a tripod. The influence of modern tactical and technical demands upon that sequence is underlined. A detailed analysis of events is done according to their type and duration with respect to the gunner security, regular rocket flight and its combat efficiency against a target. In order to verify the designed sequence of events, the signals registred during the rocket flight research experiments are analyzed as well.

 

Key words: anti-tank rocket, guided missile, rocket launching, flight experiments, thrust vector control system, signal analysis.
