The generic customization framework is put to use for rapid design evaluation of missiles & rockets. Over a period of time, three different variants have been delivered.

Missile and Rocket configuration variant 1
Missile and Rocket configuration variant 1 (Spinning Missile)
Missile and Rocket configuration variant 2
Missile and Rocket configuration variant 2 (Free Rolling Tail)
Missile and Rocket configuration variant 3
Missile and Rocket configuration variant 3 (Control Surface Deflection)

The evolution of features through the variant deployment cycle is listed below:
