The present invention discloses a system and a method for reducing plasma
induced communication disruption utilizing electrophilic injectant and
sharp reentry vehicle nose shaping. Injecting electrophilic gas into
plasma accomplishes reduction of plasma induced communication disruption
by removing free electrons in the plasma which causes the communication
disruption. For reentry vehicles, a multi-section sharp nose also reduces
plasma effect during reentry. By combining electrophilic gas injection
and a multi-section sharp nose shaping, the present invention reduces and
further eliminates plasma induced communication blackout, such as GPS
communication blackout, for a reentry vehicle during reentry. As a
result, the present invention improves targeting accuracy for a
GPS-guided reentry vehicle by reducing plasma induced GPS blackout during
the critical reentry phase.
