    The document summarizes a point mass projectile exterior ballistics model presented at the 2005 AIAA Tactical Interceptor Technology Symposium. It describes the assumptions of the model, which treats the projectile as a point mass and only considers the forces of gravity and drag. Equations of motion are developed and solved to yield closed-form expressions for the projectile trajectory. The model provides a simple and fast way to compute trajectories but is only accurate for stable projectiles at low angles of attack where orientation dynamics do not significantly impact the path.
