Abstract

The Wolfram Mathematica system is a very effective tool capable of simulating the functioning of complex systems for various purposes, including military ones. It allows you to display simulation results in numerical and analytical form, build graphs and animated videos. However, the disadvantages of this system include the inability to input and output data in a standard interface and build software packages, switching between which would be carried out using user-familiar interface elements. However, it is possible to include documents created in the Wolfram Mathematica system as part of a project implemented using the C# language. This allows you to get rid of this drawback. Calculations are performed using the Mathematica system, and the program interface is a standard Windows application interface. At the same time, it is possible to output graphs and diagrams created by the Mathematica system.
The use of this technology is especially effective when modeling complex systems that can function in different ways under different conditions. In this case, the use of various Wolfram Mathematica documents is required, while the required selection is carried out using standard C# interface tools.
In the proposed work, this approach is implemented by the example of the development of a set of programs that simulate the process of targeting an anti-aircraft guided missile by various methods. At the same time, each guidance method uses its own form for entering data and displaying simulation results. Such a complex can be used in the course of scientific research and in the educational process of military and civilian universities.
