Abstract
A model of the electron concentration in a rocket engine (RE) plume is considered and patterns of plasma frequency distribution are presented using the example of the third stage of a Peacekeeper intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Pictures of 3D trajectories of rays scattered by the ICBM plume for a frequency of 0.4 GHz are presented. It is shown that the use of an algorithm for choosing the integration variable at each step and parallel vector calculations increases the efficiency of numerical electrodynamic modeling and allows one to perform a 3D analysis of the inhomogeneous plasma of the RE plume in the geometric-optical approximation.
