The article presents the methodology of determining the basic aerodynamic characteristics using the Fluent theoretical method and the theoretical and experimental method using the Prodas program. Presented calculations were made for a 122 mm non-guided missile. In order to compare both methods, the results of calculations of coefficient of drag force, lift force coefficient and pitching moment coefficient as a function of incidence angle of attack and Mach number are shown in graphs.
