Abstract
The Missile Integrated Design Analysis System (MIDAS) is being developed to fulfill the need
for computerized missile synthesis at Vought. MIDAS brings together in one computer system the
advanced design engineering analysis techniques and work procedures that produce sized and
optimized missile systems. MIDAS can be used to analyze specific missile configurations or to
quickly generate trade-off data in the form of missile weight,lethality, effectiveness, cost,
etc., as functions of various performance and operational parameters. This paper summarizes
the first fifteen months of the MIDAS development
effort.
